i came across an older 450W psu. it has a 20 pin mobo connector
the mobo i want to use it with has 24 pins. will this work? if not, can it be modified?

Does the older PSU have a separate 4-pin connector?

it has a square 4 pin that fits the other mobo connection.

Ah, ok. The reason I asked is that some PSUs come with a 20pin and a 4pin adapter for mobo power so that they are compatible with every mobo.

Unfortunately, you won't get enough power to the board without all 24 pins, so you will need to get a new PSU.
