psu power

[BCH]

hi guys i have got anew psu with a 24 pin lead my old one has 20 pins. can you get an adaptor or do i need a new m board...????

This is actually 20+4.
There is actually two connectors attached together.
Simply detatch the +4 and you should be OK. They slide together and lock.

If the 24pin power connector can't be separated into 20+4 connectors, you can buy a 24pin to 20pin adapter like this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812189061).

For folks that need a 20pin to 24pin adapter to use a PSU that has 20pin with a mobo that has 24pin, get an adapter like this one (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16812189060).
