I had to purchase a new PSU, so I bought the EZ cool 550 watt version. The problem I have is the motherboard (Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro 2) has only a 20 pin connector but the PSU is 24 pin. Will it work; if so which connections do I use please? Hope that makes sense Any help would be grateful

The power supply is actually a 20-pin plus a 4-pin. You can use the 20-pin by itself, or, if you have a motherboard that requires 24-pin, the 20- and 4-pin can plug in next to one another.
