| 415718 | 2005-12-25 01:48:00 | I have a 450 Watt Power supply that has a 24pin connector but my motherboard only has 20 pins, is this a problem or is it fine to leave the 4 extra pins out? | X18999 (9476) | ||
| 415719 | 2005-12-25 01:58:00 | just slide off the extra 4 pin plug and tie it up out of the way as your board only has a 20 pin socket, you only need the 20 pin plug |
