    so here is the pic:

    i think most of you guys already know how to do this.. because it was really very very easy. just solder the two cables to the ones from the 3 pin connector.. but if you do this you canĀ“t adjust the fanspeed any more like i know..

    be carefull what you plug that into, if your planning on using it on a mobo header be carefull you dont fry your motherboard. the fan can draw more that the header can supply
