    Cheapest way to control 2 pin molex fan

    It's not that loud, just being OCD. Having it shut down completely until my computer heats up is perfectly fine with me, I'll try to set it up that way. I have other fans in my case. Thanks again for all your help.

    Cheapest way to control 2 pin molex fan

    Thank you so much for the info, much appreciated. Shipping on that is expensive. Can I just strip an existing 3 pin connector and use that? I have a lot of spare ones. How risky is this project? Is there a realistic chance of frying something if I wire this wrong?
