My motherboard isn't getting any power! The PSU has a 20 pin connector and my mobo is 24. I called this guy and he said just p.ug it in and there is another 4 pin connector on the motherboard which should solve my problem (like the kind you plug into a cd drive) so I did that but still nothing. My fans are working but nothing else. Any help is appreciated.

I ran into this problem myself... I wouldn't reccommend plugging a 20 into a 24.

They sell adapters that will change a 20 to a 24 pin on newegg.

And this will solve my problem? Did it solve yours?

Well, I'm pretty positive it would. I don't think there are any differences aside from pin # between the two.

I found out that my PSU wasn't big enough, and ended up needing to replace it anyway.

I would still recommend you make sure all parts are compadible next time.

Yes, a 20 -> 24 pin adapter will solve your problem.

Worked out great. It's up and running. Thanks a lot.
