3 pin fan/pwer connectors on your pc, anyone know the order the wires go into the connector?
Wires are green/yellow, brown and blue

With the pin connector itself it has a one hole has a long "1" written on it for one hole, so from that what order is it?

Asap reply would be cool please

I pulled the pin off two cables (swapping a broken pump with another) and forgot to note the cable order like a prune

whilst Eggs response is perhaps a tiny bit harsher than absolutely necessary, he makes a good point.

slow down, start again, what is this wire/connector supposed to be connected to?

brown green/yellow and blue sounds like UK mains AC colours, Brown=Live, Blue=Neutral, Green/Yellow=Earth.

[edit]ahh I see youve sorted it, glad to hear it.

Yes, but egg knows I still edit anything with **** in it.

Anyway hes managed. TBH there is a problem that people post with a issue and they havent even tried to find out for themselves on a search engine.

Well I did for ages first before posting, bloody 3 pins always black yellow and red :)
I just guessed at risk of it going boom using normal plug procedures and got it right
