Does it matter which cable I connect into the ATX12V1? Talking about this:
http://i.imgur.com/r6GpFNm.jpg - "CPU1" 4+4 pin cable

http://i.imgur.com/TCbYwhq.jpg - "ATX12V1" connection(highlighted in red because of the blurry image, sorry)
Also, my 4+4 pin/8 pin isn't long enough to reach the connection, so I will need to buy an extension. Would this one be a good choice? http://www.amazon.com/CB-8P-Individually-Sleeved-Motherboard-Extension/dp/B0036ORCJY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1388803561&sr=8-2&keywords=atx12v+extension (picture of cable not reaching: http://i.imgur.com/VOJhben.jpg)
And as another side question, My motherboard has a 24pin connection. Does that automatically mean I use the whole 20+4 pin cable from my Power Supply? As in, the whole 20 pin part plus the 4 pin?
Any and all help is much appreciated.
