    Looking for a 3-4 pin fan connecter adaptor

    My current motherboard only has literally 1 4 pin CPU fan connecter on it, and 1 3 pin (thats occupied by a top mounted exhaust fan. Now i wanted to add http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835181008 on top of my 8gb of ram. Does anyone know where to find (prefferebly on newegg.) a 3 pin to molex adapter? i have tons of room for molex in the back of my case.

    Is your RAM overheating or anything? Those RAM fans really don't do much and, if anything, are a detriment to CPU cooling if you have any sort of aftermarket cooler because they simply disrupt airflow.

    Unless you're overclocking your RAM and pushing it to simply insane frequencies, discreet RAM fans are not needed.

    DDR3 really doesn't get very hot so there's no point in having a RAM fan.
