So, while installing my new PSU and GPU (Asus GeForce GTX 650) I accidentally broke the side fan for my case, the temps are stable but I would like to know how to fix it?

There is 1 Red wire and 1 Black wire that goes into a 4pin molex plug, but the Red and Black wire is completely 'severed' off what do I do to fix it?

I managed to fit the GPU in a small Micro ATX case, but while trying to sort out the wires the side fan broke.

Honestly, I would just go out and purchase a new fan. While you could if you were skilled enough could remove the wiring and put it back together you would need to be pretty skilled I would imagine with a soldering iron. 10-20 bucks should so it. Corsair AF120/140 depending on your case fan mount size performance edition mind you not quiet edition and if you feel like forking a little more out for the cream of the crop fans the Noctua NF-F12 PWM will do the trick as well.

With the amount of work you would need to do to get it to work you are just better off buying a new fan personally unless its something simple like the wire slipped out of the molex connector and you just need to slide it back in I wouldn't bother.
