Hey guys, im buildin my pc, and i was just wondering:

the motherboard says it supports 20 or 24 pin (theres a little plastic cover that can be put over the last 4) and my power supply says the same --- the psu has 24 pins, 4 of which can be more or less broken off

will the mobo work will 20 or 24? is there an advantage to using 24 to 20? the motherboard manual says that it can work with either.

thanks, jut
