Fan installation new
      #3427046 - 11/03/09 09:28 AM

Hello,

I got a fan in today to attach to the back of my 6". It is a 40x20mm 12v with a 3 pin connector.

I've got no clue with electronics, so I'm wondering how do I actually attach the wires to a 12v battery?

Thanks for any input,

Stargazer911

If it has 3 pins then the 3rd one is usually for a sensor on the PC's main board. You can check with a battery which wires work, no problems in there.
