I have a problem! The power connector on the Zalman fan is a 3 prong connector. The connector on my card is 3 prong. I cannot see any kind of 3 prong connector on my motherboard or Power Supply Unit that might fit this zalman.. so currently the card is running with no fan.. which is not good.. I'm afraid to leave my computer on at this point.. monitoring temps carefully.. Please tell me what kind of adapter I need


Until I get the adapter I don't have a computer to use. *cries* I wish someone had told me I needed one..

Your motherboard should have one on it somewhere. If not, the fan should have come with one. you need this adaptor
Newegg.com - Link Depot POW-ADT-3P4 Power 4 pin adapter to 3 pin fan adapter - Retail

Fan did not come with one and my motherboard doesn't have one either. I went to Office Depot and bought a 80mm case fan that had a 4pin power to 3 pin fan adapter in it. Everything is working now.. idling at 43C! What a drop :|
