PS2 slim fan has 3 wires. Black, white and red. You only need black and red. Connect black to a ground point on the motherboard, connect red to a +8.5V point on the motherboard. In case you want the fan to blow the other way around, simply switch the ground and voltage connections. White is a fan speed sensor. AFAIK you should just leave that one alone. Just put some tape over the white wire so it doesn't touch anything else on the board...

So this was the same person who was previously banned and was banned again. I'm going to lock this so it can quietly fade away. Nothing to see here.
