Hi guys, pretty new to the OC and building scene.
I got the asus gtx 570 directcu II and thought the stock fans were a bit annoying as I'm a silent freak, so i got the accelero. The thing is, the asus card has a 5 pin fan socket, and the accelero has a 3 or 4 pin selection. It also comes with an adapter so i can connect it via a power cable and straight into the PSU. Unfortunately, this means the fans will spin at the same speed regardless of temperatures, which is pretty useless really.
My question is, is there any way to conenct a fan controller to this, or maybe there is a 4 to 5 pin adapter out there? Does anyone have any good ideas to remedy this setup? I want to overclock the card, but it's vital that the fans are dead silent on idle, and that they spin up when the temps increase.
Thanks, weird specific question, but that's typical for me.
