Recently, my 40GB fat PS3 got RLOD and it happened twice and found that the fan connector was broken. At first, I'm tried to fix it by wiring these fan cables with the USB cable, but too bad the fan speed was really slow and it might have an another YLOD soon because my console is already fixed from YLOD issue months ago. Then, I came up with an idea of wiring these fan cables with 12v supply from external desktop HDD head because it still have a molex pin cable on it.

So, what I'm gonna do is to connect black wire from fan with the black wire from the molex pin cable, only one black wire has to be connected and the other one need to be cut off alongside with red wire. Then, I'm combine grey wire with brown wire and then connect it with yellow wire as well. After that, I'm plugging in the molex pin cable into the external desktop HDD head and switch in on and it producing a damn noisy sound from the fan, at least it fixes the RLOD issue.

@mastershake575:

yeah yeah yeah...but still can't fit my SFF desktop that really needs the low-profile GPU ones. What I only found on the local market is the standard desktop compliant ones.

Okay, will choose that one, with 4GB variant ones. Thinking to collect some bucks before planning to buy the powerful GPU card.

Ok, Between AMD Radeon HD 6570 and AMD Radeon R7 240, which one is most suitable for my small-form factor desktop which is Dell Optiplex 790 as I mentioned before?

But I think this one is the only one available in the market and at least it can fit my desktop although it can be backward compatible to PCIe 2.0.

Asus AMD Radeon R7 240 4GB DDR3

Are you sure that this will fit in your case?

Cause its not like the sapphire I linked. The VGA connecting part is too long.

I think your case might have a problem with the Asus AMD Radeon R7 240 4GB DDR3.

Don't worry, as long that the GPU card is low-profile I'm sure that I'm install the low-profile bracket into it.

Thanks for recommendations but I see none of it will fit my desktop since it requires low-profile GPU card to fit these.

BTW, my desktop is bit older but uses Intel Core i3 Sandy Bridge model. Let me show these specs of my PC here:

Dell Optiplex 790 SFF desktop

6GB RAM

Intel Core i3 2120 3.1Ghz

250GB HDD

AMD Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3 <-- This is the current GPU I had been used.

Edit: I think I'm find the pretty high-end low-profile GPU card. AMD R7 240 (vendor: Asus) should be run for my PC even backward compatible to PCIe 2.0.

Hmmm GTX series 700 and above are not SFF desktop friendly ones, except I have to use PCIe riser cable set and ended up installed outside of the desktop.

BTW, I'm not too fond with NVIDIA cards because this brand have several major issue with Ubuntu Linux.

Hello...I'm had been not visiting this site since few years back then and now I have a desktop PC but small form factor ones which is refurbished model.

I have AMD Radeon HD 5450 1GB DDR3 GPU which is pretty entry-level GPU and I'm might have a plan to upgrade it. So far the high-end low-profile GPU that I know and available in the local market is Radeon R5 230 and is there any other of high-end low-profile AMD GPU cards?

Thanks.
