Not having done what I'm proposing here, I'm wondering if anyone ever tried it.
Some fans -- even the 120mm size -- come with speed-monitoring circuits and that yellow-wire you can connect to the motherboard, or alternatively to a speed-monitoring front-panel fan-controller.
But other very good fans with very desireable dBA noise ratings and CFM specs do not have the monitoring circuit and wire.
Is it possible to disassemble two fans -- one with and one without the "desired capability" -- and move the monitoring hardware to the fan that doesn't have it? I'm just asking here, because how would I know if the monitoring circuit built into a fan is inseparable from its other electro-mechanical components?
Anyone have an answer for this? [Besides "That's a Stooo-pid idea . . . soooo stooooo-pid!"]
