It depends and in the worst case the answer is "You would have to go inside the fan housing and trace the wiring". Btw. I DIY build my PCs, too and when I bought the parts for my new PC this year in March, I cared about the parts I bought. There are a few pitfalls, since a lot of information isn't provided. For example, I ensured that the firmware provides BIOS legacy mode. It does, but when I try to enable it, it doesn't work. The culprit is the integrated GPU of the intel CPU. It is only possible to enable legacy BIOS, when using another GPU. This information is hard to get. The workaround is, that I migrated from syslinux to grub and stay with UEFI. I hate grub. My new PC case is terrible. For example, it doesn't fix in place PCIe cards at the unscrewed end. There's no workaround for this issue. There are way more issues with my new machine due to missing information. I don't suffer from fans with RGB LEDs, since it's usually impossible to miss this information. I wonder why somebody does buy fans with RGB LEDs in the first place. Regards, Ralf
