A used S7 showed up in today's postage. I haven't brought it home to play with it yet, but immediately noticed the front fan's yellow wire is cut.

I read this defaults the fan to run 100%, but I was curious if a cut wire is indicative of mistreatment elsewhere? Would you recommend patching the wire, or just let it be?

Only if it's wired up wrong would that work. Blue is PWM, which disconnecting that defaults to 100% speed. Yellow should be tach, which if the controller doesn't see a signal on the tach line it won't know there's even a fan attached and it'll probably not want to work. Unless it's been flashed with one-fan firmware.

Thanks. Any danger in wiring it up and seeing what it does? The wire is most definitely a clean cut... Why would someone do that?

Blue and yellow were switched  Huh

It's running fine, so I'm not going to worry about it.
