I ordered a system for my roomate with a DFI nforce4 ultra board.
The power supply we ordered was a ttgi420w- its cheap and has worked well in teh past.
However, I realized that the ttgi is 20 pin and the motherboard is 24 pin.
I have seen some discussion about the issue, and DFI definetly says you should have a 24 pin.
Is it possible at all, at least for a temporary solution, to use a 20 pin in a 24 pin slot without an adaptor. It does plug in with the 20 and seems keyed to a particular side. Or will it need a 24 adaptor to even boot?
I will be reccomending getting a 24 pin soon, but he would like to have something at least temporarily without waiting arouind for a new psu or adaptor
