The transition of the molex-fan 4-pin

Good afternoon. I have this problem. Have a fan with molex four contacts and lighting. I suspect that this is either a full 4-pin fan with adjustable speed through the mother or a separate power supply for backlight. I want to make it connector 4-pin for connection to the mother and the subsequent automatic adjustment of the speed, so as to spin himself does not want. Question: will the whole thing work?

The illumination does not have a separate connector, it is on by default in the General channel. It's a Molex that has both 5 W and 12 W.
Generally, you need a rpm sensor to change the speed of the cooler (as far as I know), otherwise the adjustment will be implemented through voltage (DC - in the same way on the motherboard).
Usually, the led lights is 12W, in this case, it 5 W:

So, it will have to throw a separate wire and the fan speed will be regulated through the voltage.
It might be better to reconsider its decision in favor of this:

Hmm. That is, if I take the remake with malexa 4-pin, it will not work?

I like this backlight is not needed, he accidentally got with the case. But due to the fact that the valve is new and quiet a pity not to use it. Just wanted to connect her to the mother that she there it itself is regulated. Alas.

Will work only 5W wire this light. And adjustment of fan speed by means of voltage.

Just crush, close and forget.

So be it, customize a graph using the voltage. Most importantly, know the Pinout. There will be two wires ( + / - ).

Here is a Pinout problem. You'll need to know. The valve wires are all black, do not understand what is where.

By the way, in fact it is easier to buy an adapter for 3-pin. But this is the case if the backlight is not needed.
