I remember that a few years ago Asrock mobo's were one of the only brands that didn't require a second 4pin 12volt connector and were useful in replacing mobo's in older computers while still using the older power supply.

I was looking at some Asrock mobo's to do the same thing now, only now I want to keep using 20 pin atx connectors. I noticed that many of the Asrock mobo's have a picture (on Newegg) that shows a 24 pin connector with a sticker over 4 pins that says "For 24 pin connector"

I can't figure out if that means you have the option for using a 24 pin connector or that it requires a 24 pin connector?
Anyone know?

most of the 24 pin ATX motherboards i've used work just fine when powered with a typical 20 pin ATX power supply.
