I have a Zalman ZM-MFC1 rheobus for 6 fans to which I would like to wire an Arctic NV Silencer. The problem I am having is this, the zalman has inputs on the back for only 3 wire connectors. Red (+12v), black (grnd), white (RPM control I assume). The Arctic has a two prong connector, red and black wires, just like the stock fan had on the card. My question is, can I connect the wires from Arctic to the rheostat and leave the white prong open? Will I still be able to control the fan RPM just by adjusting voltage? And what does the white wire really do?
I hope someone experienced can answer this one for me, I am pretty good at guessing too...
