There are three basic modern ATX power to motherboard connector configurations, a 20 pin connector, a 20 +4 pin connector, and a 24 pin connector.  The 20 +4 may be used for either 20 pin connector motherboards or 24 pin connector motherboards.  The first 20 pins are a consistent standard on all three configurations.  Technically, even the 24 pin male power connector can be used on a 20 pin motherboard by allowing the four extra to hang off the side, given there is room (one one motherboard example a capacitor is in the way.)The eight power supply form factors are: #PC / XT#AT/Desk#AT/Tower#Baby AT #LPX#ATX#NLX#SFX Three common ATX power to motherboard connector configurations, a 20 pin connector, a 20 +4 pin connector, and a 24 pin connector.  The 20 +4 may be used for either 20 pin connector motherboards or 24 pin connector motherboards.  The first 20 pins are a consistent standard on all three configurations.  Technically, even the 24 pin male power connector can be used on a 20 pin motherboard by allowing the four extra to hang off the side, given there is room (one one motherboard example a capacitor is in the way.)
