Posted June 20, 2015 Would this work, or would it fry my board?I have (assuming) an atx-mini board and it has a 14 pin PSU slot. I just bought a Corsair CX500 that has a 20 pin connector and I'm really hoping that I do not have to send it back and get a different one and wait ANOTHER week to use my new graphics card...Reason for getting a new PSU: 280W won't work with my new GTX 960.

Probably, the board still uses all the same voltages etc most likely.

Yeah, that should be fine also, but if I was in your situation, I would just buy a new motherboard and case (and maybe CPU), cause you're going to have to do it sooner or later.
