Lost the power cable to my old Akasa 6 fan controller (AK-FC-08BK).

If I remember rightly it was a molex to a 4-pin jobbie, a bit like a FDD power cable but tried that and does not fit.

I have stripped an old molex->FDD cable but just need to know which way round the 12 and 5v pins should be.

(from the pic)

12v

5v

Or

5v

12v

12v on the bottom. You can tell because of the huge PCB track to handle the fan load. The puny 5v track would only be good enough for a low load such as for a LCD or LEDs or such things. The zener in line also suggests the main rail is here.
