As promised, here is the picture. The fan connector has 4 pins, you only need 2 wires.

Disconnect it from the fan header on the mobo, use a long thin cable with very thin conductor that can fit inside the fan connctor like picture below
Attached Image

You only need to connect the red to +5V and black to ground on USB ports. The USB port pinout can be found here. Look at picture below how it connected to USB ports.

This entire thing is reversible of course, no cutting or soldering required on the fan connector so it won't void the warranty smile.gif

Update:-

I still can't get my 4570 detected, so I jz go to BIOS(using 203, is upgrade recommended here?) and set display to dGPU...n rebooted, now ATIeXpress doesnt show anymore(I hate it anyway xD) and it is on 4570 now...

but 1 thing though...

although I have downloaded from webbie, even at ati modder site, it appears that my driver isnt updated as some1 here claimed they have above 8.6...8.7..

Here's mine:-

Im using Vista 32bit, probably this is the latest? i am yet to try out the newly installed driver, will try with Borderlands/F.E.A.R see if there is any significant improvement wink.gif

(currently sucking bad at Borderlands which I shouldnt, FPS drop even at 640x480, unbelieavable,hope my 1 night struggle worth it)

Windows Experience Index is merely a guideline than a proper benchmark tool. I run it few times, each time the value is a bit different than before by a small margin. Background services affects the mark as well.

Yes, just use the wires, and if you don't like it just put it back to its fan header

Yes, just get the thin cable, you can buy it from electronic store

I run my lappy without backpanel 98% of the time, the only time I put it back is when I used it in class
