Gigabyte x800xl + ati silencer rev 5.2

[biggestseagull]

Guys,

I've just spent all of my hard borrowed cash on my new comp and it's all up and running except that I bought a gigabyte x800xl(GV RX80L256V) which apparently has passive cooling.

Trouble is, it doesn't appear to include a 3-pin header to plug in the fan of the arctic cooling ati silencer rev 5.2 in.

Can I plug it into one of the motherboard pins (sounds like a bad idea and doesn't fit too well) - motherboard is dfi ultra-d. Can I get an adaptor so that I can plug it in somewhere?

Atitool says it's running at 65C+ in windows and at 90 when running it's little 3d thing!

Thanks for your help,

Dave.

I've had a bit more of a play and it's stable at 50C idle when the core is clocked at 125 and the memory at 250.

I don't want to go any lower!

Whoa, just put a better fan blowing on it. That's pretty toasty for being UNDERclocked!
