    so, i've been trying to find a minifan for the np8760/w870cu backplate, since it has the spot for it and a power connector (next to the subwoofer connector) as well. searched google and here but didn't find anything :(
    anyone have any info on what i can put in there? and if it should be installed blowing out or in? Thanks.

    so figured out a 40mm fan will fit but the regular size is slightly taller than the space inviolved, so i'm looking for a 3 pin slim 40mm fan to place inside anyone know where i can get one?

    i was looking at the same fan and another skinnier one, i was going to get one of the molex pcboard 3pin connectors but without seeing it (no pics) wasnt going to order. might just find another cpu or gpu fan assembly and take the connector from it since its the same.
