shouldn't but not certain as never used that adapter before. as long as it uses all the primary wires like power good, +/- 3,5,12volts, ground & some others it should work. get 1 & compare to your existing computer psu connector

i presume that 24pin is actually a 20 # 24-pin ATX Power connector??
if the blue adapter is the same color as the other power cables than go for it
