Hi all,
So I got my G4 Cube onto my desk the other day (after spending around a year on a shelf on display) she’s now setup with Mac OS. 9.2.2 and OS X Jaguar as a working computer and it actually works great with my FireWire 400 capture box And Final Cut Pro Version 3. Something my 15 inch MBP retina could not do.
Upgrade wise I am fitting a 120GB SSD to it later today via aid of a IDE to SATA adapter, upgrading the RAM and I’ve also just realised that the 32MB ATI Radeon 7500 in my old QuickSilver model, will actually fit inside the Cube and work if I cut down the I/O shield of the card.
Been advised to install a fan in my Cube as I am Installing an ATI Radeon 7500. As this 7500 graphics card is a non standard install for the Cube, I was advised to install a cooling fan, the problem is I am unsure which type to buy. There’s a bit of information online about adding a fan, but these guides either had dead picture links or low resolution Photos making it difficult to see a proper close up of the header and fan connector.
There seems to be plenty of lots of options in regards to the right dimensions of fan, but no fan I’ve found yet seems to have the correct two pin connector fitted. Some cooling fans I’ve found are two pin, but the connectors look too large to fit in the unused fan header inside the Cube.
Does Anyone know of the type of fan connector I need in order to connect a fan to the internal board?
Form factor wise I seem to require one of those superslim 80mm x 15mm fans.
