Hi,
i intend to replace the stock fan of my Quadra 605 with a more silent one (Gelid Silent 6, 60x60x15 mm). The connector used to power the fan is J13 on the logic board and has three pins, but only two of them are connected and they are +12V (topmost pin, next to the silk screening J13) and GND (middle pin).
Does anyone knows what the third pin is intended for? On current 3-pin fan connectors the third pin is the tachometer signal, but i doubt that Apple had this in mind back then.
With kind regards,
Egon
