Well, I recently got an MSI 7800GTX for a good deal off the forums, and since this is West Texas it gets pretty hot. Needless to say, the card was idling around 55C. I read about how great the Zalman VF 900 was, and since I already owned the Zalman CNPS9500, I figured I would bite. I got the VF 900 in tonight and here's my dilemma:
I don't think this is with all 7800GTX's, probably just this MSI or whatnot. It's an NX7800GTX 256mb version. I took apart the card, and installed the VF 900 easily enough.. until it came time to plug the molex power cord in. Let me show you what I'm talking about.
On the video card board, there is a 4-pin molex connector:
However, the Zalman VF 900 comes with a 3-pin molex connected to it:
The box I received came with no adapter of any kind, nor did I assume it would because of this being a 4-pin. My question is, is there some kind of adapter out there I could buy for this? This looks to be a small connector.. here is a picture of it from the stock fan:
I searched here and online, but all the results I came up with are for power supplies. Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction? Thanks.
