My MotherBoard has 20 Pin
Recently My SMPS got short
So i bought New SMPS in that their was 1 Wire Jointed which was converting 20pin into 24pin
I removed that wire & my SMPS got converted into 20Pin
U can buy that Small Wire from Computer Accessories Shop

You can buy a 20-pin to 24-pin converter cable. It costs around Rs. 150/- and easy to install with all the standard sockets. Just attach 20-pin side of the converter to your existing 20-pin smps cable. The other end of the converter is 24-pin so you wont have to play with any wires.

It will not improve performance and will be a waste of money unless the Mobo will accept only a 24 pin one. I had used A8N-E Mobo (24 pin) with a good 20 pin PSU for more than one year with absolutely no problem. (presently repaced by Antec SP 500 having 24 pins) But I had heard that certain Mobos do not support 20 pin coonection.

but I heard that some mobos get heated more if we use a 20 pin in place 24 pin, my mobo do support 20 pin and it is working on that 20 pin wala
