So I have an arctic accelero plus that connects using a four pin cable.

The cable port on my actual GPU (EVGA GTX 650 ti) is a 2 pin. Was wondering if there is an adapter out there so I can just plug my fan into the card instead of having to use a molex adaptor.

see where the fan is connected into the card? It's a 2 pin connection, my accelero is a 4 pin. Just wondering if there are adapters out there I haven't been able to find one. Some idiot guy at a PC store I went to when I was looking for an adapter told me to splice the 4 pin myself to fit into a 2 pin, that sounds like the perfect way to screw up my card or my arctic accelero.

you could plug the 4 pin onto your mobo (for pwm) or to a fan speed controller instead of them running full blast to a molex. it comes with a extender so you can plug it into the mobo

My mobo doesn't have any four pin fan connections on it, just 3 pin
