just got my DS4 mobo and tried to fit it into my artic cooling selinteum case , problem is the mobo has 8 12v connectorrs for the cpu , psu only has 4 , and main mobo power atx socket on mobo is 24 pin , psu connector is 20 , do i just send the case back! ? and start with a new case and a new psu?

You can get converters for both, but I would personally prefer a native ATX2.2 PSU with a 24pin and 8 pin EPS connector.

think i will send the case back , or try and get another psu for it, it says in case manual not to use adaptors

Depends on your complete sytem setup and total power draw. The extra pins are to supply additional power to the mb, so if u going to do some serious overclocking and want it to be stable then get a new psu.
