Wrong Power Supply?

[verbality]

Hello,

I am building a computer at the moment and ran into a problem.
My motherboard has a 24-pin pwr1 slot and the plug from the power supply is only a 20-pin.
Also my motherboard has a 8-pin pwr2 slot and all I see from the power supply is a 4-pin and a 6-pin plug.
Can I just stick those in anyway or do I need to go get a new power supply?

Thanks

Specs on PSU and new system would help as far as compatibility. But all that aside you can get a 20 to 24 pin converter and a 4 pin to 8 pin. But before you buy a converter I'd make sure the PSU is sufficient.

List the specs.

I'm guessing you're talking about the 8-pin cpu power connector, usually at the top-left corner of the mobo by the cpu socket. If there's a cover on the other half of the 8-pin, you can plug in a 4-pin cpu power cable. Otherwise, see the manual in the cpu install section or board layout. If it requires an 8-pin, then get a 4-to-8pin adapter.
