20 - 24 pin ATX power converter

I just got a new Asus A8N Sli - deluxe motherboard, but it has a 24 pin ATX power supply connector. I was wondering if it'd be safe to use just the 20 pin connector and leave 4 spaces empty. I read on some other forums that people have done this but feel a little unsure about it.
I am just building it at the moment and i aim to get a converter later, but i just want to put all the OS and essential programs on tonight, so i hope it could power up ok for some trivial use with just the 20 pins connected

Thanks
