    Default Powering PC Fans with Toggle Switch

    This is how you power a PC Fan with a "2 Post" Toggle Switch.












    I did it this way so ya'll can see the wires.
    You can always hook it up to a molex connector.
    Or use the red PSU wire instead of yellow for a 5v configuration.

    I think I should mention that if your fans have a third, sensor wire, you need to plug that one and the ground wire into the motherboard to use it.

    Why would you plug your fans into the motherboard Inless its a CPU Fan, or a Aux Video Fan?

    EDIT: Oha. . I see what you mean the white wire.
