Nidec BETAV TA450DC wiring help please

As much as I hate to necro this is really the only decent source of useful information about this specific fan I was able to find so I wanted to add a couple of points for anyone else who might be tooling around with one of these monsters...

1.) Run it off Molex from the PSU. It's 1.4 Amps so if you plug straight in to the motherboard you may fry the more delicate headers - better safe than sorry.

2.) I highly recommend using a fan controller to tame this beast, just follow the standard 3-pin layout substituting the WHITE wire for YELLOW (i.e. black, red, white). This is a tested and verified solution (again, pull power directly from the PSU).

Sorry to ping an old topic but this thread saved me a LOT of time; I hope my streamlined summary will be helpful to others with this same fan.

Dell does odd things with fans. So make sure. back from the days of 'we make 5 million PCs, make the fans this way. You never know with them.

A new fan is cheap.

Best bet is dump the old fan.

Jeah great Chioce, this fan is fantastic! Silent and powerfull too. The wiring is:
black = gnd
red = 12V+
white = sensor
blue = pwm

If you chance the cable config you can use it with the dell plug. make sure your pc can handle those fans. better is connecting red and black directly to psu.
