I've been looking at new motherboards, all of which have the new ATX specification including the four new pins from the PSU. Two are ground and two are +12v. Would it be safe to take an existing PSU without the 4 pin adapter and hack it on to a 4 pin connector? I'm not sure if I'd be over-stressing the PSU by pulling more wattage on one of the 12v lines than it can handle, but it'd save me $50....
I have an ATX connection from and old PSU that I cut off and that I could modify with a dremel to fit the four pin connector on the motherboard.
Thanks for any input.
