fan power cable

elexes

right im just back from dublin and i was all day looking for the power cable for a fan everywhere told me the same old thing "we dont do them because they come on the cpu usualy " well i know they come on the fan usualy but mine broke and i need a new one for a p2 400 any ids where i could get one ?

also would i be safe running the computer while the fan isent working or should i waight till i get it fully working

don't run it for over half an hour without the fan
p2's get quite hot.
and when u mean power cable for a fan ? you mean the tiny little 3-pin connector that attachs to the motherboard? or the actual wire has disappeared itself?
because u don't actually need that connector itself.. u can strip down the end of the fan cable and wrap it around the connectors.. works grand.. done it myself like.
but if it is the cable thats missing or you ripped it or something you'll need a new fan or re-wire it yourself like i said

I have a fan like that connected spliced straight to the power supply fan
