I had a 9500 pro in my main machine. But I transfered it to my Wife's computer when I upgraded it recently.
Everything was running great until one day the fan on 9500 pro started making noises... then one day just stopped (damn you dust bunnies!!! I BLAME YOU!!!)
Anyhoo, I pulled the fan off of the heatsink and tried running it that way. Overheated quite quickly when running World of Warcraft. I grabbed an old stock CPU fan for an athlon XP and it fit over the hole where the fan was quite nicely... BUT then screwholes didn't line up.
After thinking about how to mount this aqward fan on an even more aqward heatsink, I finally decided to superglue it on. It works great now... but... (question time!)
The CPU fan is a 3 prong kind... the old VGA fan is a 2 prong kind. Can I do a modification to the wiring by replacing the plug of the CPU fan with the old VGA fan's? I'd have a free floating yellow wire, but that shouldn't be a problem... should it???
