GPU Fan?
Hey, I'm installing a VD964 on my 9800GT, and I have a few questions...
1) Do the RAM heatsinks that come with the VD964 work with the 9800GT? If so, can anyone post a picture on how they're supposed to be installed? 2) The fans are 3 pin, but when I look on the PCB the fan connector is some type of 4 pin connector, and I can't find a connection for the GPU fan on my mobo, does anyone know if I need an adapter or something? 3) What's the best way to apply TIM on this?

1) I think you just stick them onto the RAM chips after you clean the original paste/adhesive off the chips.
__________________2) 3 pins just means it'll run at 100% at all the time, they're compatible.

Also, the 4pin connector doesn't fit with the 3 pin fan connection. I ended up sticking the fans on this connection on my mobo that said PWN_FAN and it works fine. Does anyone how I can control the fans speeds though?

What do you mean by placing the ramsinks? They should be about the same size and shape, then just stick them on.
__________________They don't fit? Probably because the PCB uses a special connector, but if the mobo one works then that's fine. I don't know if you can control the fan with a 3-pin.

I don't think you can control the fan through without a fan controller. The fan will spin according the the tempurature of the inside of your case if you connect it to the PWN_FAN connection.

SpeedFan should be able to control it since you connected to the MB

K, thanks.
The RAM sinks were too big at certain points, I ended up leaving a group of chips that were covered by the stock cooler bare since I couldn't reach it with the big RAM sink, and I didn't have enough small RAM sinks. Anyways, I'm pleased with the results, thanks.
