Connector for floppy drive power to FAN?

    I have a Dell PC and the motherboard has no connector the aftermarket cooler fan I purchased for my graphics card. Currently, I have my aftermarket fan connected to the power cables for the floppy drive using two garbage twistties which obviously is a fire hazard. I was wondering if their are any actual cables on the market which can convert the floppy drive power to a fan?

    Thanks

    Hi

    Not seen a splitter cable for a direct from PSU to floppy power cable (maybe someone else has), but do you have any Molex power cables going into a CD Drive or HDD?

    If so and your after market fan came with a fan header to molex cable then you could use a molex splitter cable like this one HERE

    Hmm, never mind about that. It looks like neither the CPU fan nor the "cage" fan uses a three pin connector. Looks like my motherboard doesn't even have any three pin connectors.
