CPU cooling fan - 2pin anywhere?

[FourWheelDrift]

Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere I can buy a AMD Athlon sized (4cm x 4cm) CPU cooling fan that has a 2 pin power connector? I just need the fan not the whole heatsink assembly.

Everyone I seem to find has a larger 3 pin power connector not a 2 pin.

I think, though I'm not 100% that you can use a 3 pin fan on a two pin header.

All pin 3 does is report speed, I think.

What do I have to do, cut one end off the connector?

Connector is the same isnt it? Just theres an extra yellow wire in the middle...

www.quietpc.com sell fans on their own.

This one has 2 & 3 pin connectors. To me it looks (in this pic on the link below) that a 3 pin connector wouldn't fit into a 2 pin socket, the holes are in the wrong place.

But there's at least the 2 pin option there

Scyhte are a good brand too FWD... They run very quiet (at least their case fans do)

Just had to pop out, I couldn't wait for mail order as it was strating to get very noisy and I need this working tomorrow without fail and bought for the same price as the fans I've been looking at a full kit, fan, 3pin to 2 pin converter cable and even different heatsinks from Sleezy World.
