    How do i tail a 120mm fan

    Just got myself a couple of nice papst 120mm fans but they are tailless.they've just come with loose red and black wires.Ideally i would like to
    install them on my fanbus so i can adjust their speeds but its not essential as i'm changing cases soon and i don't think the fanbus will fit.
    Anyway what i want to know is how to tail them.Do i just put the red and black wires in the corresponding colours on the molex?Sorry for the thickness but this is a first for me.So come on guys help me get cooler in this heat.

    You have it spot on, Simply solder the red lead to the yellow wire on the molex and the black wire to any of the black wires or if you wish to 7 volt the fan and run it quieter and therefore slower solder it to the red wire.


    Heh just noticed you are using a fanbus but I'll leave ^ as someone else may fint it useful
