24 pin PSU

Well after i thougth my new mobo had died a death, got it replaced then the PSU made funny crackling noises...not good haha. So didn't risk it any more and repalced it with a new 500w PSU.

The thing i need to know is, the MB has a 24pin psu socket but also accepted my old 20 pin PSU with the seperate 4 socked plugged in elsewhere.

The new PSU i noticed, has 24 pin socket and the 4 pin socket... do I still need to plug the 4 pin socket in as well?

System is a AMD64 X2 4600 CPU, GForce 9500Gt PCIE Graphics, Nvidia chipset ECS 7050M Version 2 Motherboard. Motherboard caters both 20 and 24 pin PSU.

Never had to choose between PSU's connectionsbefore, and it's one area i don't want to muck about with and fry the new MOBO

Regards
Smee
