Gtx 1070 fan headers

Hello I want to connect a case fan to my gpu because i dont have a slot left on my motherboard,but i cant locate the fan header.Can you teach me how to do it?

you can not connect a case fan too a gpu. They are smaller connectors to start. I would recommend getting a 3/4 pin header spliter and connect your fan to the montherboard

That wouldn't be a good idea even if you could (you can't). Just get a fan splitter as said above. E.g. https://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812423163&cm_re=fan_splitter-_-12-423-163-_-Product

Edit: my mistake, there are some cards that have system fan headers (although that seems kinda gimmicky to me). I would still probably recommend just getting a fan header splitter though.

Actually, there are some GPUs that have extra fan headers for case fans - I think some of Asus Strix have such feature. But unless you have one of those GPUs, you can't connect case fans to GPU.

Well usually the header is located on the right end of the graphics card, on the face opposite to the face with the video ports. However, this feature is on very limited cards, so maybe you should just check the manual of your card to find out if your graphics card has it or not, and where it is.

i dont recommend checking the manual as sometimes they reuse the manual from last gen cards, just with new names on it. I would recommend checking the card directly.

You can check here where the fans need to be plugged in.

Another good visual:

Those pins sticking out in the second image are the fan connectors.
