Okay, I just got some fans and a nifty fan controller by Super Flower. However, the fan controller accepts 3 pin connectors, and my fans, I'm sorry to say, are of the two-wires-spliced-into-a-four-pin-connector variety, with the yellow wire hanging off by itself (attached, and this is the irritating part, to a THREE PIN CONNECTOR!!!1 ). Do fan manufacturers hate people with fan buses?
So I intend to attach the red and black wires to the three pin connector, which brings me to my final dilemma: the yellow wire is about 1/2 the length of the red and black ones, and will not reach the fan controller from the back of the case. So I get to snip it and either take the extra effort to extend it, or just forget about it. I know it has something to do with sensors, and isn't needed to power the fan, but will I be able to control fan speed without it?
Thanks for any help forthcoming.
