I have been building my own computers for several years, so I am familiar with the basics. But I must admit, this is going to be my first mod without guidelines.

Therefor I seek your help.

The setup in question is an i7-4770R Gigabyte Brix, and the goal is to replace the stock fan.

I have run into a problem with the fan. It seems to be connected to the mobo with a pin-size I am not familiar with.

I am wondering if it is even possible to connect the Scythe to this particular mobo? They're both 12V but will I be able to modify the connector of the Scythe, to be inserted in the Brix?

Thank you in advance,
Marius
