can i just splice the extra 4 pin connector thats needed? i have extras from molex psu's its for a matx case so dont really want the extra wires of adapter or to wait for it..
 
Don't see why not, but be careful with your solder-points. Most likely, those extra wires willy carry a relatively high amperage.

You obviously accept that this is a permanent modification to your PSU, and requires some extensive care.

As an alternative..............20pin PSU's key into 24pin mobo's without modification and there are commercial products available..cheaply.
