Hey there, I've searched everywhere for the last ten minutes and hope it's alright. I'm trying to figure out which wires belong to the fan, using the model number Cooler Master a14025-12CB-3bn-f1. I need to match them up, especially since most are white/silver except one with black mesh printed along it. There are small labels at the end of the wires, but I can't read them clearly. If you can help, could you tell me which wire is the one that reads RPM? Usually it's yellow, but here they're all white/silver. Thanks!

You can view on Google how those wires behave, it's MINUS PLUS SENSOR. The position of the cables remains the same, but in new fans they also use black cables.

@Sanzufin, thank you for your reply. I understand the MINUS PLUS SENSOR configuration, but when I checked the fan and the wire placement, it seems inconsistent—colored wires everywhere. I worry about having to solder if a cable gets cut incorrectly.
(I'm installing a new fan with 3 pins into a power supply block that only holds 2. Since the sensor wire isn't required here, I wanted to remove it so the 3 pins become 2.)
EDIT: I found an image on Google that might help. It's unclear if it's clear, but what I'm trying to show is that all the wires are white/silver and just bare under the insulation.
