They just supply a bit more current on one of the rails (12V I think) and most boards run fine without those 4 pins. Not so great if you regularly draw a lot of power through the PC but since we are talking 300W PSU's I doubt that. Early boards told you it was ok in the manual because 24 pin PSU's were still rare at the time. | dugimodo (138) | ||
