I have a PC with Jetway 945GCM3 motherboard, Intel E4500 Processor, 3GB RAM and ATI HD4670 Graphics Card. The PSU suddenly started giving troubles and I decided to replace the PSU. The older PSU had a 20-pin + 4-pin auxiliary power connector on it. The new PSU I bought (Corsair VS450) only has 24-pin ATX connector.
I wasn't aware (didn't give much thought about) all these differences in pin before ordering the PSU. Only after unboxing and trying to connect it, did I come to know that the PSU doesn't have the 4-pin connector.
Now, since the 4-pin is just to provide auxiliary power, is it safe to ignore it and power on the system with just the 24-pin connected?
My system components:
- Intel E4500
- Jetway 945GCM3
- 3GB DDR2 RAM (1GB + 2GB)
- 500 GB 7200 RPM HDD
- HIS HD4670 512 MB
- (No floppy or DVD drives)
