Need wiring advice

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
I want to install a second fan on my gpu, but I'm a complete noob when it comes to wiring. Is it possible to have two fans on one 2-pin connector? If not, can I connect the fan elsewhere?

is it just a fan or another fan on your cpu cooler?

Install a new fan where ever you need it. Then connect it either to a Molex plug or a Fan header on your motherboard.

No need to overcomplicate things.

Long story short, my graphics card has two heatsinks. One is supposed to get air current from original fan, but due to my unfortunate slot location, that is not the case. I want to get a separate fan on the other heatsink, and I don't know how to connect that.
