VGA Silencer Revision 3 - Fan Power Cable

I have one of those 9800 Pro 256s that can be modded into the 9800XTs.

Because it seems as though the VGA Silencer Rev 3 is the most popular cooler for Radeon type cards, I bought one and after installing it I noticed a rather significant problem.

The VGA Silencer seems to have a 2 pin fan power cable. However, the 9800 Pro has a 3 pin, though it is not a 3 pin like that of a motherboard header rather it seems like a proprietary 3 pin seen here:

It also seems as though the 2 pin on the VGA Silencer is unique as I cannot find a 2 pin to 3 pin adapter that will fit it.

Does anyone happen to know of a 2 pin to 3 pin adapter that will fit the VGA Silencer's fan cable or am I stuck with an unusable gpu cooler?
