My link was to fans that were only variable speed via 4pins, unless I linked wrong somehow.

the fans may be variable and listed as 4 pin ( i.e - they can be connected to 3 / 4 pin headers ) , but they are not true 4 pin fans.
take a look at any fan on the page and you will see only 3 wires on all fans listed.

and gryhnd ,

i'll check out your project.
the only reson why my pc stops and tells me the error is because its an xps system. these get extremely hot no matter what
and dell have strict guidelines as to what is and isnt connected to the board . i know its all a warranty / money racket / " use dell parts only "
rip off but i'd like to find true 4 pin fans that i can splice onto the dell connector and have a quiet games room :)

Good luck. When I was researching the same for my dell (which is a 3 pin), folks who spliced in said the fan itself turned out to be so proprietary that the BIOS still reported errors.  :dunno
