Power supply question

[The Last MeMe]

Will a 24+4pin power supply work on a 24pin mobo? Im confused what the difference is between a 24pin psu and 20+4

[M-ursu]

there is no 24+4pin

it is 20+4 and all current gen MoBos use 24 pin connector.

And if you have some old 20pin MoBo 24pin will still work.

What?

There is no such thing as 24+4 pin.

If you're asking about a 20+4 pin in a 24 pin socket then it should work fine.

They do 20+4 pin so older motherboards can still use newer PSU's since many motherboards were only using 20 pins before.

Even running only a 20pin in a 24pin mobo will be fine

Sorry did mean 20+4 typo so it would work alright on a 24pin board?

Yes.

Yes it will work. The reason why it's 20+4 is because some older motherboards only had a 20 pin connection, I think. Then came along the 24 pin motherboards.
