Quick question: I have an 80mm fan w/2-pin connector

[hurtstotalktoyou]

I pulled two 80mm fans from my defective Antec SmartPower 2.0 PSU. They both have a strange-looking 2-pin connector. Should I hang onto them or try to sell them? Or are they useless?

Thanks in advance!

Smart Power 2 shouldn't be out of warranty already and if the problem was bad caps, Antec should RMA the thing.

Are you sure they are not two pin versions of the normal 3-pin connector? I know that sometimes they use a miniture connector, if so you'd probably have to put a standard connector on if you wanted to use them. They probably aren't any too quiet at full speed anyway. Or perhaps you could sell them on eBay for service parts but it would hardly be worth your while.

I'd hang on to them, you never know when you might need a random fan

I don't have a receipt anymore, so they told me to take my RMA request and... you know.
