i was digging up some old parts from my first computer, and i found a fan. it's a large, square shaped thing. i wanted to use it in my new computer, but i realized that the end of the fan had a plug for two pins, and my Abit BH6 motherboard only had a fan plug with 3 pins on it. i was told that there was a converter for the thing, but i have no idea what it's called. if anyone knows what that converter thing is referred to as (if there even IS a special name for it), let me know please?

also, would there be problems in putting a fan that size (i think it's about 80 mm) and that old (about 5 years old) in an newer case?

thanks!
 
dont connect it to the motherboard.It will try to draw to much juice,get the traces hot,burn them open,or just fubar the mo/bo.Get a 4 wire connector and splice the wires till you have contact.In other words run it directly of the power supply.
