Does the 120mm nexus come with a native three pin connector and a four pin adaptor like most fans or what? No pics ever show what the connections look like. Three pins are cleaner looking and easier to route and connect.
 
It has both, but your better off going with a Yate Loon since Nexus is just rebadging the Yate Loons and adding a resistor.
 
Yeah but Jab Tech doesn't show any sound or cfm statistics for the Yate Loon... it'll be louder than the nexus, since the nexus is the same but with a resistor right?
 
Yes, but you can put the Y-L on a controller - not so with the Nexus as it's already running in the low end of its voltage range.

Nexus "cherry picks" which Yates have the least amt of motor/bearing noise and slap the resistor on it. I stuck w/ getting Nexus's because of my analness about noise. I didn't need 1350 rpm....1000 is ideal in my case. Besides Jab has been out of Yates for about a month now it seems, although you can get them at Tekgems, but for $11. Was worth the extra $7 @ Jab imo to go Nexus. You know exactly what your getting.
 
The Nexus fan connector seems to have the 3-wire connected to the 4-wire so you can use either one. If you want to connect the 3-wire to the mobo, can you cut the wires that attach the 3-wire plug to the 4-wire plug?

Anyone notice the blades are different on the 2 fans in the pictures at jab-tech? It doesn't appear that these are the same fans, just nearly the same color.
