I have an Asus L5Q pro ATX motherboard.i'm a little confused about the power connectors.there's a 24 pin connector and an 8 pin connector.but the 8 pin connector has 4 of the pins plugged with apiece of plastic.my Antec PSU has the 20+4 pin connectors and one more 4 pinis is acceptable to use the 20+4 pin on the main power connector, and just have 4 pins connected for the other one?
Yes. The 4 pins are covered with a piece of plastic to show you how to connect a 4-pin power connector if that's what your power supply has. If you have an 8-pin power connector, remove the plastic cover and connect that. Either way is perfectly acceptable.
is is acceptable to use the 20+4 pin on the main power connector, and just have 4 pins connected for the other one? I have the asus p5q pro just like you. Use the 20+4 pin for the main motherboard power connector. If you only have a 4 pin plug it in and it will work. If you have an 8-pin you can safely remove the cover and plug it in. It's really for your convenience of what you have available.
