Motherboard has a 24 pin power connector on it, PSU has a 20+4 connector.
It appears that the 4 pin will connect right next to the 20 pin on the motherboard. It even has these tab's on the side of the 4 pin connector to keep it from sliding out of the socket. Good to go or do I need an actual 24 pin connector off the PSU? |

Google the ATX style motherboard versus the rated power supply for the answer. Old motherboards often had two connectors.
Best bet download the MB manual and it should tell you what you need to know. Or at least post the motherboard name / model & the powersupply info. |

Yeah 20+4 is the same connector as the 24. Just more flexible for older motherboards that only had the 20.
Quoted:
You're fine. Some boards had 24+4 connectors. Some had 28. The +4 on the PSU is almost always separate to account for both board types. 
There's no 24+4... |
