Video card fan adapter? Silencer on Asus X800xl

I originally had a AGP ATI x800xl and installed The ATI Silencer on it without a hitch. The fan plug was the same size on both cards.

Recently im moving onto a new system with PCI-E so i managed a card trade for an Asus x800xl plus cash. The Asus card is pretty good and i went to install the Silencer on it too only figure out at the end that the plug on it is too small.

Pics of what i mean.

On the left (Smaller one) is the Asus plug - On the right (Bigger one) is the Silencer.

Not sure if you can see but thats where it should be plugged into but its too small to fit the silencer plug.

Is there anything i can do? Is there some type of adapter i can use, i really want to be able to use the Silencer on the card.

What is? In the first picture i only want you to look at the cables sticking up. One is a small 3 pin and the other is the regular 3 pin (bigger) and the second picture shows the regular 3 pin cable next to the small 3 pin plug.

you could try a 3pin-4pin adapter and connect it to a molex.

I thought about that too, but will the card boot properly and not give me some crap as the fan isnt connected.
