Heya all,
I managed to salvage a nice fan (foxconn PV123812DSPF) out of one of the workstations here at work but I am unsure of how I will need to wire it up!
the fan has an odd 5 pin connector I have never seen before in a PC, only 4 pins are wired, it has red black yellow and blue, am I right in thinking that this is 12v, ground, RPM sensor and PWM?
if so can I just user the red black and yellow to wire it up to a 3 pin fan plug?
if so then it would make an awesome system fan as it can push out up to 150CFM at full blast
I did notice its rated at 0.9A, is this unsafe for running off a fan header on the motherboard?
