I'm trying to wire a PC fan to run from the wall outlet.
I have read that I need an AC/DC 12v adapter with a minimum of .33a to match the specs of the fan.
Is this true?
Have any of you done it differently with success?
also, what do i do with the 3rd wire on the PC fan?
I have red, black and white.
In my experience red would be positive, black negative, and a green wire would be a ground, but wth is this white wire?
The guy at the PC shop said it was some kinda censor wire, but I don't actually trust the locals to know what they are talking about, as they tend not to, even if it technically is their job to know.
