If it is like that, its OK. BTW the 4pin has 2 teeth to lock with 20pin to make 24pin.

Thanks that was it . Reseated the four pin and all was good. Thank for the reply . I like the fact that u included pic with answer.

Older mobos come with 20pin and newer are 24pin, therefor u don't have to change the PSU if u upgrade the mobo, when it comes to that.
