Where to plug VGA Fan in?

hartigan · 20-November-07, 09:34 PM

I'm getting the HR-03 Plus for my 8800GTX and I'm wondering if I can plug the [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811999613]Vantec Tornado[url] fan that I ordered with it right into the header on the video card?

I ask because this would definitely reduce the amount of cabling I would have draping through the center of my case.

Thanks

VGA card headers tend to be smaller than mobo fan headers, and sometimes they use weird options (some use 4-pin speed-controlled fans, for example)

ie: it's best to figure out how to discretely (for cosmetics) a connection to a molex coming off the psu, right?

thanks for the reply!!
