Since most fans run with 12V, you will have to connect the red fan wire to the yellow PS wire, and the black fan wire to the black PS wire; if you have a 5V fan, connect red to red and black to black. See the image below for an illustration.How to get 7V voltage without any additional electronic components...Power supply plug If you have a 12V fan, and you find it too loud, the best solution is to build yourself a temperature control for it. However, if you'd just like to reduce noise without adding a temperature control, there's a simply trick how you can achive this.The problem is that normally, you only have the choice between two voltages: 12V and 5V, and most 12V fans will not run at all if they're powered with only 5V. What many people don't know is that you can get 7V from your power supply plug, without using any resistors or other components. Almost all 12V fans will run very well at 7V.You can simply use the voltage difference between the +12V and +5V lines to power your fan with 7V: Connect the fan's + wire (usually red) to the power supply's +12V wire (yellow), and the fan's - wire (usually black) to the power supply's +5V wire (red).<img src="http://www.heatsink-guide.com/psplug.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Note: unlike some other electrical motors, you cannot reverse the rotation direction of fans by reversing the polarity. If the polarity is incorrect, the fan motor will not work at all, or might even be damaged.A word about the MOLEX (three-pin motherboard) connectorMOLEX three pin plug The molex connector has three wires: + (usually 12V, usually red), GND (usually black), and SIGNAL (usually yellow or white, but there are no clear standards). Unless you are a board designer, only the + and GND wires are of interest to you. (For the curious: The SIGNAL switches between NC and GND twice per rotation, resulting in a square perioducal signal if you connect a (low) voltage.<img src="http://www.heatsink-guide.com/molexplug.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
