[answered] Mainboard and 20pin-24pin ATX2 powersupply? help!

jvandroo · 09-04-2005

Hello,
I just realized that my power supply ATX has 24 pins and my Motherboard PCchips Tid :-oalWave for P4
has a 20 pins power supply. Oh Oh!
The 24 pins plug fits on the 20 pins board, with the last 4 pins kept free.
NOW: CAN I DO THAT without blowing up the board? Good question!
Well if somebody knows about that, or already has done it, PPLLEEAAAZZE let ,me know ASP.
Thanks a lot.
