Newb Alert! Regarding GPU Cooler

[Kyle009]

I've just purchased a second hand Inno 3D 8800GT 512MB and it comes with an aftermarket Zalman VGA cooler. This has a little fan connector that needs to go to the motherboard but I can't for the life of me see where I need to connect it.

Anyone have any ideas? My motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R.

Also I need a power cable for the graphics card but I've lost my modular cables from the Corsair HX520 I've bought. Any idea if I can get buy a replacement from anywhere?

Thanks a lot

Think corsair will send out replacement cables if you ask... some people have had joy with that.

I'm assuming its a 3 pin white fan connector around 1x1cm or so not the tiny little 4mm connector?

Ok thanks I've fired off an email to Corsair. Fingers crossed!

Yeah a little 3 pin jobby!

Plug it into one of the fan headers on the mobo. There's one between the NB heatsink and the rear speaker jacks or one under the red memory slot closest to the ide socket. Either of those should be suitable.

Great stuff! Just spotted that now.

I'm dying to get this card installed, is there anywhere that sells replacement modular cables? I've checked the OcUK store and can't see any

I think you can only get them from the manufacturer.
