I have an aftermarket GPU cooler and I want to plug its fans directly onto the motherboard so that I can slow them down when it's not in heavy use, currently it runs at 100%, 100% of the time.
I have a Gelid Icy Vision v2.0 GPU cooler and as I said earlier, I'm trying to plug its fan directly onto the motherboard. Problem is, the fan connectors are not the same, the GPU fan connector is smaller than the mobo fan connector.
I'm looking for an adapter that will allow me to connect the GPU fans directly onto the modo. I've found one, but it's in Hong Kong and I don't seem to know what the name of the cable/adapter is so I'm kinda stuck. Here is the one I found. Anyone know what it's called or where I can find a similar one in the UK?

P.S.
If you ever do get this GPU cooler, I'd advise you to invest an extra £15 or so to get a decent pair of 92mm fans and a fan splitter cable to allow you to plug them onto 1 fan header. The fans that it comes with are a nightmare; they're loud, you can't control them, look cheap and mine broke. You can just tie normal 92mm fans onto it with zip ties.
