PIII and a loud 50x50mm fan

Post by raczyk » Fri Jul 09, 2004 7:59 am

hey all, I got a little situation. My PIII fan is alot of noise, probably the loudest component in the PC. I want to get a 92mm or 80mm (@ 5 or 7 volts) fan on top of the existing heatsink. The challange is on how to connect the heatsink to the plastic socket without the pins wich are connected to the 50x50mm fan? Can these pins be purchased anywhere, or is there another way of doing it? wires?

Which Panaflow model works best

Thanks
