computer fans

[Curran]

does any one know how to wire them into the car.

they have 3 wires, red, black and yellow

cheers

[saxodan]

erm why?!

[Clouds_mate]

to put in a boot bulid to keep amps running cooler at a guess dan.


Abit more info is needed mate.

[Curran]

what info do you need?

[Mystic]

If its a 3 pin plug on the end of the fan red is your 12v, black is your earth and yellow is the fan speed sensor.

If its a 4 pin molex on the end, red is a 5v line, yellow is a 12v and blacks are earth again.

Simple way to check the 3pin unplug the yellow wire n plug it bk in2 the pc, if the fan still runs then the first setup is right. For the 4 pin, the fans shouldnt need the red wire so the same idea again. Sounds like a 3pin u have though.

[Curran]

it is a 3 pin.

thanks mate. thats very helpful and just when i need it as well. the boot build should be finished 2nite and if it is i might just show you all
