Yes, just use the red and black. I am running my fan with only two wires, (red and black).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would think so, hook red to red and black to black. Don't use the blue wire, it feeds back rpm speed back to the motherboard, in your case don't use it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, you should be able to. I had the same situation. The blue wire allows a cpu to regulate the fan when needed, like a thermostat. Just connecting the red and black wires will work, the fan will run continuously while the CPU is turned on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yep, they're made to be backwards compatible. If you have any troubles, use the included adapter to connect it inline with a disk drive or hard drive. The plugs will only go one way so you can't mess it up!
