I mean sure, any less power draw can make a difference, but I just can't see it being much. Not sure how overclocking would be better with the fan plugged into a header off of the GPU. Would I need to cut the header of the Twin Turbo and substitute it with a motherboard sized one? Is there a simpler way?Ĭlick to expand.I'm pretty sure most PC fans use >5W, likely closer to 2-3W if I'm calculating it right. I did find this adapter to basically do the opposite thing, plugging a standard case fan into a GPU, but not the one I need. So the question is, as the title says, is there a straightforward way to plug the GPU small PWM header into a standard 4 pin motherboard fan control? Now, before purchase I did know that the good people at MSI decided to use a 6+2 pin header instead of a good old 4 pin, so I knew I wouldn't be able to plug the Twin Turbo to the card, but what I didn't realize is that the 4 pin PWM GPU connector is smaller that the standard 4 pin motherboard connector, for my plan was to just plug it into the motherboard and control it via speedfan. Therefore I decided to go with an Accelero Twin Turbo 2. So my MSI GTX970's fans decided to break just a month after the warranty expired.
Don't really know where to place this thread, but since my card is nvidia and this is related to cooling, I'll try here.
