I was going to use the mobo fan header to cool my TRUE with a Scythe SFlex.
But what about the fan header on the 8800GT? Anyone know the voltage? I'm looking to utilize that for a 92mm fan.
Advise? Expertise? Thanx

personnaly i avoid mb fan headers as much as i can to keep board as stable as possible
i'm sure you got a scrap powersupply you can make xtra connectors for for your current powersupply

the scythe sflex fans wont damage your mainboard if you connect them to the mainboard fan headers. they dont draw that much power...
its fans like high rpm delta's and vantec tornado's that can damnage your mainboard.
anyway... i'd say connect them directly to the psu anyway, no reason to send the power for them through the mainboard first if you can have it taking the direct way.

Well for now I'll just use the mobo connector for the cpu fan untill I find a suitable fan controller.
As for the vid card fan, what is the max voltage of the fan header on the 8800GT?
