Hello.

Im looking for some help to buy a cable to go from my 1080ti strix as below
to my motherboard chasis header.

But I cant for the life of me find a cable with x2 female at one end (for the gfx card) and one female at the other end for the motherboard.

Some help would be great thanks

You don't/can't connect those headers to the motherboard, you connect fans to them?

What are you trying to achieve specifically? If I'm understanding what you're asking correctly, there's absolutely no use-case for what you're proposing....

That's not what the header is intended for.

The header highlighted is to connect case fans to the GPU (for either additional fan headers, or fans positioned in the vicinity of the GPU which can 'ramp up' in line with GPU temps).

What you're proposing would (if it existed) end up with the GPU fan header sending voltage/speed controls to the motherboard header - which is doing the same thing in reverse......... neither of them would then be used for their intended functions ie controlling fans.
