I have an old Mac Pro 4,1 workhorse. It has the ATI Radeon HD 4870 PCIe video card, which occupies the lower two of the Mac Pro's four PCI slots. It tends to overheat in the summer and fail, so I'd like to install a Fox 2 exhaust / extractor fan above it. Looks like the intake of the fan will line up nicely with the exhaust of video card. Almost as if it was designed with it in mind. Ahem.
Problem: the Radeon video card MUST be plugged into BOTH the 6-pin auxillary power sockets on the backplane / logic board of the Mac Pro; there seem only to be two. So where could i get power to run the fan?
Thanks,
