1 hour ago, Manuel_Antonio said:I had a fan with a molex connector but the connection got destroyed, and I replaced it with a regular fan connector but it only has 2 wires, the gnd and power it doesn't have the yellow nor the pwm and I was wondering if it's safe to plug it into my motherboard. Or I should find a molex and plug it into my PSU instead
OK, so 2-pins would mean the fan runs a 100% speed all the time.
Missing the 3rd pin = no speed readout.
(No 4th pin = no PWM speed control)
Not really a problem, if you don't mind the fan running full speed the time.
