If I plug a 24-pin connector into a 20-pin motherboard with 4 pins hanging off the side, will this be ok? As in not mangle up the motherboard.
 
Aye it shoudl be grand!

As far as im aware the Atx 2 standard (or what ever were up to now) specifies the original 20 pin connector to be backwards compatable and the other extra 4 to provide that bit more power (as it works the other way with having a 20 pin in a 24 pin board)

But dont quote me on this! (im pretty sure thats how it works but a quick wip about on google should conferm it)
