My current computer is This lenovo tower.
it has an i7-6th gen, a gtx 750 and a stock 250w power supply.
I wanted to upgrade to a better graphics card and I ordered a used GTX 970. To use this new card I knew I had to upgrade to a better PSU and I purchased a 450 PSU.
My new PSU (CV450) has all of the necessary connectors for fans, hard drive, GPU etc, and a 24 pin motherboard connector.
The problem is my motherboard only has 14 pins going into it from the PSU and everything else is powered directly from the motherboard, rather than from the PSU.
If I just buy a 24-14 pin dongle and run it as it is now, will the motherboard even work with the increased wattage?
