Hey people,

Does anyone now if there are available power ports on Mac pro 1,1 logic board for some additional fans, without running cables down from the optical drives. :)

You can use HDD SATA power connector with SATA -> Molex adapter :) if you have one unused.

I'm going to replace the heatsinks on my processors with better ones, and the ones I want to get have fans! :)
