Reversing airflow on Volcano II?

[guppie]

How do i do this? The connector has 3 wires: Yellow=sensor, Red=hot, Black=ground. I've tried all possible combos and the only other combo that would make the fan blades even spin was just switching the yellow and black wires... I thought all you had to do was switch the red and black wires, but that didn't work... I guess I could take the fan off the heatsink and then turn it over? Anyone have a solution?

yes turn it over

Unlike some DC motors, you cannot simply reverse the polarity to make a fan change direction. Besides that, the fan blades are designed to push air one way.

You can take the screws off and turn the fan around though.
