the 4 pin if its a squate with a pin in each corenr is an atx plug used to give the cpu specificaly enough power. you need to connect it... if its a 4 pin in a single line rectangle its called a molex and that is to give the gfx card extra power if the gfx card is missing its power connector... it should only be used if you have stability issues where the motherboard doesnt have enough current * +

if your thinking the 4 pin on the 20+4 then thats not rite. the atx lead is seperate from the main power lead. the extra 4 would normaly fit in the main plug.. as some have 24 pins while others have 20. but the atx is as i said always seperate. also the atx lead only fits 1 way thats why some of the male ends are circular and some square. to make sure you plug it in correctly... * +

make sure you have the rite end connected to the psu and the rite end for the motherboard. * +
