ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe upgrade means PSU upgrade?

I just got this mobo off ebay and now noticed it's 24 pin power plug.

I have an enermax 431 which I believe is standard atx 20 pin and 4 pin 12v


Do I now need to upgrade psu or how about those 20 to 24 pin adapters
 
nah its not necessary, you can still plug in a 20pin power supply in and leave the remaining 4 plugs empty.
Otherwise you can buy a 20 - 24 pin adapter as well.
 
no, you don't have to buy a new PSU, but if you're planning on running anything faster than dual 6600GTs, you should look at a new one. Just leave the top 4 pins of the connector open when you plug in the 20-pin PSU, and make sure you plug the molex connector into the EZ-Plug for PCIe stability. As for the Asus board, i hope it works better for you than me. My SATA-II controller died, so i sent it back and am currently waiting for a Chaintech NF4 Ultra right now (only $119 at newegg).
