PSU connection question for you smart guys

Use the 24 Pin connector on the mobo. You need to plug in the EPS12V also. Both the 24 pin connector and the 4 pin connector must be connected to the motherboard in order for it to operate.

The 24 pin connector should be on the top right of your motherboard (if it's mounted) and the 4 pin should be in the top left. This varies on motherboards but that's usual.

The 20+4 pin connector on the PSU just means you can take the 4 pins off to make it a 20 pin connecter which some motherboard use and when the 4 pin is connected to the 20 to make 24 which newer motherboards use.

If you didn't understand that just understand this. The power supply has a 24 pin connector and a 4 pin connecter. Both separate. One plugs into a 24 pin connector on the motherboard and the 4 pin connects to another plug on the motherboard.

Gotcha, thanks. That is what I thought, but just wanted to make sure so I don't fry a couple K worth of goodies. My first build in a couple years, back then there was one connector and one type. Lol. Thanks, off to assemble.
