Sure thing! Let me know if you'd like me to redo it or check anything else.

It would be unusual to have two PWM signals while only tracking one fan speed. The BIOS would likely detect the unmonitored fan as active by using both signals together for reliable cooling control.

This suggests the design is more similar to two standard 4-pin fans connected together rather than a single setup. The OC forums are also noting variations in wire connections.

Red equals positive, Black is negative, Green is ground, Yellow is power, Blue is unknown.

This setup works well because the 3-wire connection acts as a backup, allowing you to save about a penny by avoiding unnecessary wiring.

If yellow works and blue controls PWM, then black and green serve almost the same purpose and exist mainly for safety. You might ignore them or connect them to ground. In homes, the green wire usually links to a rod driven into the earth.

I believe the colors mean 12v for both fans, Black is ground, Green indicates RPM, Blue is PWM, Red is RPM for one fan. In this setup, Blue and Yellow can be exchanged, but one must be voltage and the other PWM. As mentioned earlier, I sometimes need to adjust speed and consider details more carefully. To be honest, I don’t have an Asus 5 pin fan available for testing right now—just theory.

It could be. I'm applying colors to the AC wiring in my home. Red usually stands for heat, here it's 12 volts. Just following what people have done before. Edited August 1, 2022 by Bombastinator

I prefer standard computer colors, though this feels unusual with lots of yellow, black, and blue. Black likely comes from heavy machinery or electronics. Yellow and blue stand out, while white is what I normally use for 12/24/48V in such equipment. I’m also used to switching the ground to turn it on.
