Please help identify 5 pin connector

From what i read yesterday i think we will be looking for the area51 PDF, I have downloaded 2 file so far just gotta install adobe.
 
I found what looks to be the right PDF file but there is no real usefull info in there that says what wire is witch.
 
i have tried a dell delta fan in a normal mobo and it worked fine as long as one of the notches on the dell connector was in line and one wasnt ie pin3 was aligned with pin3 on the mobo header.
(if the upstand on the header was to the bottom then pin1 was on the right)
I cant rememer if the fan speed function worked thugh.
 
all i'll say is be aware that if the fan is 2.5 amps ,that your motherboard might not support it

i do know that their are 3 - 4 pin adaptors that have the rpm plug sepparate so that you can still monitor but not control your fans

all depends on what you want to do with it :)
 
Molex!
 
Just want to get this baby up and running. As long as it gets power im good. no need to adjust speeds or any of that.
 
 
thanks to everyone that helped. got the baby up and running. =) took a 3 pin to 4 pin fan molex and removed the red and black wires and stuck it in the first and third slot. w00tw00t~!
 
Good effort!
what temps are you getting?
 
30c low to high 44c. been trying to make it get pass 44c but no luck. i like it =) thanks again
 
i cant see what your system is,but i guess its an intel with those temps?or are you living somewhere with high ambients?

Click to expand...

Yea, its an intel. Live in San Diego, and my room is fairly normal. Once summer hits my room will be a sauna. not sure if i answered that correctly. =( Should my system be lower in temp since i have the WC on?
 
i would expect 45-50c absolute max with a heavy overclock and watercooling,though a second fan on the other side of the radiator (in a push/pull configuration) will help another couple of degrees,though if it doesnt bother you then don't worry about it..Intel can work fine at much higher temps than amd setups.my cpu wouldnt work at 4ghz at those temps,though if i drop the temps 20c then i can get 4ghz cpu and 4ghz cpu-nb!
 
looks like Its a 4pin fan with a 1 > 4 pin short(iirc makes the fan/pump run at 100%)
place the 4 pin connector on a 4pin OR 3 pin stud with the 5 pin hanging over the side ( might need to flip it )
