| CORRECT | Verified with multimeter, thank you! | APPROVED | ||
| CORRECT | There is also a 4-pin connection. It is physically compatible with 3-pin fans an has an extra pin after sense for speed control. Stock Intel fans have this 4-pin connector. | APPROVED | ||
| CORRECT | the pinout is correct, at least for gnd and VDC (so it must be correcto for sense too). | APPROVED | ||

| 2010-01-30 18:13:46 | rev. 2 | ERROR FIXED | Doubt if the connector is IDC. It is 3 pin male 2/54 pitch. But not IDC. | APPROVED |
| 2010-09-11 16:36:55 | rev. 4 | CORRECT | This is mostly accurate, except for the sense wire: when the fan is running, the sense wire has 1.5v, but if the fan is not running then the sense wire is 0v. | APPROVED |
| 2012-02-21 02:14:51 | rev. 7 | CORRECT | APPROVED | |

| 2014-12-01 05:09:40 | rev. 9 | CORRECT | Most pin 3 (sense) wires are yellow. Otherwise pinout is good. | APPROVED |

| 2018-04-22 20:36:50 | rev. 11 | ERROR FIXED | The pinouts are correct, but I believe the the descriptions for the pictures are swapped. '3 pin IDC Male connector at the cable' should be on the right, and '3 pin motherboard fan connector' should be on the left. | APPROVED |
| 2018-06-08 15:40:43 | rev. 19 | CORRECT | APPROVED | |

| 2020-02-22 04:12:52 | rev. 20 | ERROR FIXED | Great page, as always, but picture on right has Black,Red and Blue wire, but chart lists Black,Red and Yellow. The Blue and Yellow colors basically interchange, but might be worth unifying chart to pic, or vice versa? | APPROVED |
| 2020-09-30 08:30:09 | rev. 20 | ERROR FIXED | нумерация контактов на конекторе вентилятора https://connector.pinouts.ru/3_pin_motherboard_fan_/ неправильная - зеркальная. Контакты должны нумероваться как 1-2-3, а не 3-2-1 - как здесь: http://easyradio.ru/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/field/image/fan_3_pinout.jpg | APPROVED |
| 2020-10-09 04:08:06 | rev. 20 | CORRECT | APPROVED | |
| 2023-01-10 07:43:05 | rev. 21 | INCORRECT | Pin numbers are backwards in the diagram for the connector on the fan cable side. | APPROVED |
| 2024-01-12 23:16:43 | rev. 21 | INCORRECT | The mainboard connector numbering is correct when looking at where the tab is (it's a fine line). Conversely, the cable pinout seems to be reversed. | WAITING FOR APPROVAL |
