<p>Oh, also, re: 3-pin vs. 4-pin, interesting page that says "don't worry about it" (unless you want speed control): <a href="https://landing.coolermaster.com/faq/how-to-connect-a-3-pin-or-4-pin-fan-to-the-motherboard/">https://landing.coolermaster.com/faq/how-to-connect-a-3-pin-or-4-pin-fan-to-the-motherboard/</a></p>
<p>Otherwise you're looking at an adapter (this was the top Google hit): <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/4Pin-3Pin-Standard-Adapter-Cable/dp/B01H0OZC9W">https://www.amazon.ca/4Pin-3Pin-Standard-Adapter-Cable/dp/B01H0OZC9W</a></p>
<p>Trevor may have an adaptor in stock, you'll have to ask him... for that matter, he may even have an AM3 fan in stock!</p>

<p>IIRC, the fan depends on the CPU, the motherboard socket, and the case dimensions/clearance. I've found a vague reference to this fan being used on an AM3 socket, does that describe your situation? If so, the forum poster I found replaced his AVC fan with a "Be Quiet!" brand "<span>Shadow Rock TF2" (<a href="https://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler/1074" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler/1074</a>) which may or may not fit your case. (And holy cow is it ever expensive!)</span></p>
<p><span>On a related note, Google Translate does a horrible job of translating Hungarian to English. (<a href="https://prohardver.hu/tema/milyen_cpu_hutot_vegyek_2/hsz_73341-73360.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://prohardver.hu/tema/milyen_cpu_hutot_vegyek_2/hsz_73341-73360.html</a>)</span></p>
<p><span>Its Bulgarian is almost as bad (<a href="https://www.ebowsos.com/ru/products/avc-7020-dv07020b12u-12v-0-7a-4wire-cooling-fan" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.ebowsos.com/ru/products/avc-7020-dv07020b12u-12v-0-7a-4wire-cooling-fan</a>).</span></p>
<p><br /></p>
<p><span>Bottom line: it looks like you currently have a 70mm x 70mm x 20mm fan designed for an AM3 socket.</span></p>
<p>The closest match I've found so far is: <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master-Am2-Am3-Cpu/dp/B004X5TGO4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://www.amazon.ca/Cooler-Master-Am2-Am3-Cpu/dp/B004X5TGO4</a></p>
<p>Everything else I can find is both enormous and expensive.</p>
<p>YMMV, good luck!</p>
