There is a rpm sensor on Panaflos, there is a third wire , which is not connected.

And you are not worried about your mobo header if you do this?

Regardless of the wire lead area on the fan... the Panaflos do not support RPM monitoring.

Like Sundog said, if you are planning on plugging a 80MM+ fan or 60MM 7K+ screamer... be sure that 1) it supports fan monitoring 2) you buy it with a splitter/RPM cable (3 pin hooks into motherboard and 4 pin molex plugs into PSU). If you don't do it you run the risk of burning out your fan header or your motherboard.
