    Hi guys, I'm a total newbie at simulators so please be kind.

    I have a sabertooth 2x32 connected to my Arduino Uno and would like to attach a 120 fan 12V on top of it for cooling.

    I am not sure about the wiring, so could you please provide me with insights about how to wire up the fan?

    Thank you guys.

    What are the wire colors of the fan?

    The yellow should be power and the black ground.

    What helped me was the image on the first post here and the wire overview of the "Pin Configuration of Noctua 12V Fans" with 4 PINs here
