ATX 20pin to ATX 24pin question
 

We are building a pc and have no found out that the motherboard has a 24pin atx connector and unfortunatley for us all the psu we have are only 20pin, according to the manual for this board it is backwards compatible though we where wondering if this is the case? anybody care to shed some light?

Does the motherboard have a blanking plate over 4 pins on the ATX connector?

No it doesnt, though we have tried the old connector on the board and it will only fit one way (Though we arent brave enough to try powering it up yet :) )

Then you shouldnt have a problem, go on, fire it up! (not literally... I hope :shocking:)

Is the connector on the mobo one long 24 pin, or is it a 4 pin and a 20pin butted together?

Some PSU's have a 4 pin connector that clips onto the 20 pin connector to make it 24 pin, don't suppose you have a 4 pin connector that needs clipping onto the 20 pin?
