Hello I need a PCI Slot fan to assist in cooling down my graphics card. the problem is taht all these cards require a four pin connector!!

My computer only has a 3 pin available. I am looking at my mobo, G33m03, and the only four pin module is for the CPU fan. I don't see any other four pin connectors. Are there any more 3 pin PCI fans??

If worse comes to worse, Ill have to purchase a AC to Molex four pin adapter, and power my pci fan externally.......

you can run 4pin fans on 3 pin connectors, they do fit and run

as far as i know the 4 pin connector version gives a better ability to control speed.

Yup, the 4 pin ones will work on 3 pin motherboard connectors. They have little notches which will allow them to be connected from the right side.
