I have a Quad HDMI capture card in the top PCIe slot. The OEM version had a super loud fan so I removed it and replaced it with a pure copper heatsink. It's a lot better, but I still worry about the heat, so I want to add a couple of 40mm noctua fans to it.
The only problem is, I don't know where the best place to get 5v power from inside the case.
Due to the assembly being quite tall, the 4th HD bay isn't being used anymore, which I'm ok with.
The closest source of power seems to be from the SATA port of the 4th HD bay... but I can't seem to find any adapters that will convert SATA to 5v power. I probably have to make something up myself, but I just thought I'd ask here to see if anyone else has a better idea!
PS. It's a Mac Pro 4,1>5,1
