yes that is the point, and if I do that, then exactly how is the motherboard supposed to detect the fan - What kind of molex adaptor do you mean there are many many available! The whole point of the original post being: If I make an adaptor can I run the fan on 5v AND also put the white wire (the tachometer sensor) back onto the system board so that it will detect the fan otherwise I keep having to press F1 and there are no settings concerned with fan detection in the BIOS or even any display of fan speeds or temperatures!

My point being does anyone know of a hardware fix to this - I need an answer from someone that knows about the voltage and what will happen if I switch to 5v and the white wire goes back on to the board
