PSU says 20+4 pin, but connector only 24-pin

[TriEclipse]

I just bought this PSU; Antec True Power Trio TP3-430 ATX12V 430W.

When I got home, I discovered that my motherboard required a 20-pin connector, and the Antec PSU had only a 24-pin connecotor. My old Fortron also said 20+4 pin on Newegg, and the connector was a 20-pin connector with a 4-pin extension that I never used. But this new thermaltake looks like it only has a 24-pin connector.

Any ideas?

just plug it in and leave 4 sticking out

Nevermind, I figured it out.

I couldn't just plug it in; the 24 pins were all together in one row and the extra wouldn't be able to stick out, there was no room.

But I realized that you could break off 4 pins on one end, so now it works fine.
