ASUS Strix 1050ti installation - What do I do about the 4 pin header?

[adekiewiet]

I have a mini ITX build and I just bought the asus strix 1050 TI as a replacement gpu. I've got it installed and plugged into the PSU, but I've no idea where the 4 pin on the side of the gpu should go.

The box says '4-pin GPU headers connected to system fans for optimal thermal performance' but there was no cable included to make such a connection and I don't see anywhere on my mobo that would take the opposite end of the normal fan cables.

I hope i've made an obvious mistake and I can solve it easily, though it's possible that the gpu isn't compatible with my mobo (ASUS B150I).

Thanks in advance!

Those headers are simply normal fan headers that you can use to connect 2 extra case fans if you want/need. Otherwise just leave them unconnected.

Okay, that's lucky. But my issue is that the fans don't spin when I power up the PC, I noticed when i had Open Hardware Monitor up to check everything was working. I installed the geforce drivers, are there any others that I would need for the fans?

The fans will only spin under load. Play a game, they will spin up.
