20+4-Pin & 24 Pin

this will be a short thread. the motherboard that i'm going to get says it is a 24 Pin and the psu says its 20+4-Pin. i just wanted to know if i can still use the psu for the motherboard. and are there other kinds of pins?

That won't be a problem. The reference to a 20+4 pin power supply is a 24-pin connector which can be split up into a 20-pin for compatibility with older motherboards.
