Hi,

 

I have 3 120MM Phanteks case fans but their cables all black. How can I know which one is ground,12V and tach?

No, but one of them is solid black, one of them has text on it and the other one is half-grey.

But how do I need to hold it? Which surface is going to look up?

The black wire is ground

 

Oh wait

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad
