ATI (Sapphire) x800 3pin Fan header / connector ?

Does anyone know what the mode/ type of 3 pin connector that is used on the Sapphire (ATI) x800 series cards is? I have a bunch of small 2 and 3 pin connectors from old fans, but none fit.

I want to solder up an adaptor to get my Zalman VF700 AlCu hooked up directly to the video card's header.

I'm even willing to buy a crappy little HSF if it has the correct 3 pin connector.
 
I'd rather keep the stock fan intact for the moment. Yeah, the AC's have the correct connector, but I couldn't find any information about what kind it is. Everywhere I look I can only find the larger 3 pin molexes used for mobo headers.
 
I ended up finding a very *similar* 4 pin connector from some odd audio cable in my drawer. I careful use of an exacto knife and a standard 3 pin header coupler and now I have my Zalman running directly off of the video card. Works beatifully and I managed to avoid making any permanent changes to the fan and the card. I'll post some pics of my mod later.
