Hi,
I have searched high and low for an answer to this question and cannot find anyone with the same situation. I came very close to it in this thread but it stopped before I had all the answers.
Basically I have purchased some after market LED fans that include an on/off switch on the body of the fan, these I thought would be an excellent replacement for the existing fans and still keep the LED on/off switch function on the front panel.
My only problem is that I cannot work out which wires to cut into to maintain the on/off switch - I presume that I can simply snip the switch off the after market fan and wire it into the existing wiring for the CM stock fans.
To make matters slightly more complicated I am planning to run these fans with PWM control on the motherboard, but power them from the PSU. I have purchased this product:

This appears to give me power to the fans from the PSU (not stressing the motherboard's power) and the ability to run the fans at different speeds depending on load via connection to the motherboard 4 pin PWM header.
The above bit I can work out on my own, it's just the replacing of the stock fans and the wiring to the LEDs that I can't figure out. Any help with this is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,
Jamie
