4 pin molex connector to 3 pin fan connector?
Would it be possible to make your own 4 pin molex to 3 pin cpu converter by wiring them together correctly? Or in the converters is there any resistors that may lower the current that would make it impossible for me to make one myself? If its possible, do you know which wires to put together? I have plenty of copper wire and electrical tape to hold it all together. I know there are converters but this is for something special, so please don't tell me about any converters.
Thank you very much.
there are no fan headers on motherboard btw

yea you can - you dont need 4 wires for the fan just 3 or two wires is enough.to make 7 volts use red and yellow
negative and positive
red is 5 volts and black is negative
yellow is 12 volts and the rpm counter for knowing the speeds if your gonna plug into a motherboard
red yellow and black is all you need just get a female 3 pin connector.look inside your pc and examine the wiring.red and black if you gonna plug into a fan controller.
i hated controlling the fans through motherboard.
