I had a slightly painful accident of getting my finger into my 6950's fan. I only got a little pain but my gpu cooler got the worse end. The fan blade broke. I tried gluing it but it wouldn't stay attached even without it spinning.
So I found a fan that is identical. Same size and shape.
The one on the left is the broken one. It has a blue pmw wire, a black ground, and a yellow 12V. The one on the right is the replacement. It has a black ground, and a red 12 volt.
If I could get a few tips on attaching it where the broken fan is... i would be extremely grateful.
I have read about people wiring this exact fan as a replacement for the broken fan. They attached the black wire to black wire and the red wire to the yellow wire. How would I do that? I have very little soldering experience but have a friend who has more.
-I know it will not be pmw controlled.
-I also don't have a place to attach it on my motherboard. Even if I did, that would still need tips on what to do with the wires from where I took off the fan.
-I have electrical tape
