Will a 20(+4) pin PSU work on mother board that needs 24?

Will an A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard, which says its power pin is 24,
will a power supply that has 20 +4 work on this board? I'm not sure if
20 +4 is the same thing or compatable with 24 pin.

I'm looking at these two pieces of hardware at newegg.com, if looking
at them yourself would help, here are the links: (

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103512 )

Also, I don't have much of a background with powersupplies, is enermax
a good brand? Anything bad about them? Thanks much.

Yes, it will work just fine. A 20 + 4 connector means that it can be used
on a 20 pin or a 24 pin motherboard.

Enermax is a top rated power supply. You shouldn't have any problems with
it.
