Is it possible to make a 6pin connecter, without a real one. like adding a 4 pin+2pin, something like that?

My motherboard has 24 pin connecter to power supply
but...on the default setup, it only connects 20pin, so 4pins plugged in.
so my question is, if my mobo has 24pin for the psu, should i plug in all 24 or should i leave it at 20. will it fry if i use 24, im keeping it at 20, but i think this might be a problem to me not be able to boot in my DVD drive.

Hi kiddieboy....;)


its fine, some older motherboards only have a 20pin connection as 24pin is not required.

if you have a 24pin PSU connection & a 24pin mobo connection then they should all be used. :)

if your saying you only have a 4pin plug connected to your motherboard then there's a problem.

sorry your post wasn't too clear.
