I recently got this computer from a friend who mainly used it for low-stress mobas and the like, but when playing newer/more-intensive games it has been getting heat problems. I've replaced the CPU cooler that has brought down the CPU temperature significantly, but has raised the GPU and the core temp to 60-80C when under heavy load.

Since his build only had one case fan, I borrowed some SilentFan 120Si2's off a friend but cannot find the correct place to attach them for power. The only fan-related slot I can find on the ms-7596 v1.2 (motherboard) is the sys_fan slot that is already in use.

Do I need an adapter or am I stuck with one fan forever?

You can get an adapter like this to connect to your PSU:

or you can get a fan controller if you have space like so:

These come with their own adapters.
