I have a FSP500-50AAGA PSU and recently upgraded to a new MOBO that only has a full 24 pin atx power connector. Can I use a 12pin to 24pin power adapter without any issues?

    They should have the same signals, but the normally found adapter is just backwards from what you're talking about. They let you plug a normal 24 pin ATX connector into the 12 pin ATX motherboard. The genders will be different.
