Heatsink Fan Question.

[ADV4NCED]

A while back I bought a Iceberq 4 for my 9800SE but then realised the thing doesnt fit on my card and I wanted to know is it possible to fit the cooler any other way to the card without using the normal fitting holes that are on the card? Could you maybe glue the cooler onto the GPU?

Also, the Iceberq 4 has a 3 pin connector where as my card has a 2 pin connector, can I plug the cooler into the card and leave one of the holes unconnected ? If not plugging it onto the mobo should do the trick eh?

You could always use thermal epoxy if you want to permanently fasten it to your card? Or you could mix some thermal compound into the mixture of epoxy to weaken the bonding strength so that you may take it off without damaging your card.

And the motherboard 3pin will work fine btw

The Iceberq4s are designed to use the adapter bundled with the HSF and draw power directly from the PSU (unless your video card has a big enough connector for the fan, I doubt it in most cases though).
