Older boards could run with a 20 in a 24 but it hasn't been a good idea for awhile now the newer components need the power without the additional power provided you will end up damaging the board, especially with 4gis of ram to power. I'm surprised that it has a EPS 4+4 and not a 20+4 main?
What model Antec psu do you have?
