One method: Don't used the 3 pin plug (especially if you have modified and connected the 4 pin plug). Move the pins around in the 4 plug socket (yellow 12v -&- red 5v=7v, red 5v -&- black Gnd=5v). You only have to move one lead to another position for a 5v or 7v conversion. Forget about RPM monitoring after you drop the voltage, it just won't work.

A pin extraction tool helps (thin tube), otherwise push in the pin flanges holding the pins in place and back the pins out of the socket. Try 7 volts for a decent amount of air. I bend the wires back and run them up inside and through the female side of the pin (bending the pin open & then closing them again) so they fit neatly into any of the 4 holes (two of the holes don't need the wire folded back, the molex connector has a flap which just snaps open).

Yea, but using this method you can't use both sides of the connector. You won't be able to daisy chain the power connectors. I'm using a dremil to cut a slit along the top of the connector so the wire won't be blocking.

You certainly can use that method and daisy chain them. All that's needed is to also swap the corresponding pins on the other end, other plug.
