Here is what she said: We do not recommend using the 430 tp on a PCI express motherboard. You would need to buy the the NeoPower 480 with the 24 pin connector. We don't sell 20 to 24 pin adaptors and do not recommend their use.

It's possible she was trying to sell me something but I don't think so.

Well below is a link from the Antec site regarding this issue. All I can tell you is that I have put my computer through some serious stress tests and not so much as a screen flicker has occured. I do not use an adapter, I leave the four extra pins empty. My rig is as per my sig.
