Nexus controller hookup to case fans? Strange?

:eek:OK, before anyone freaks out, I haven't turned my new computer on yet with the case fans hooked up to the Nexus controllers (NXP-201). I've had it running for about a month sitting outside the case and finally put the MB inside the case tonight.

One strange thing I noticed is that when I hook up the ADDA case fans that came with my Lian-Li case to the Nexus controller, it looks like the following wires are connected from the ADDA to the Nexus 3-pin connector extender like this:

blue >> black
red >> red
black >> yellow

That's the way it hooks up with the slider thing slid into place like it should be with 3-pin connectors. I would think it should be black >> black, red >> red, blue >> yellow.

The Coolermaster Neon fan is hooked up as follows to the Nexus controller 3-pin extender:

black >> yellow
red >> red
yellow >> black

Once again, it seems like it should be like colors to like colors but it is not with the slider thing in place like typical 3-pin connectors. I also have two Sunon fans in the front hooked up using Antec 3-pin extenders to the Nexus and it shows:

black >> black
red >> red
yellow >> white

Just in case you're totally confused, I'll confuse you even more. I'm now looking at the connections to the back of my controllers. The ADDA and Coolermaster fans all show the black wire on the left side, whereas the Sunon fans show the black wire on the right side of the connection to the Nexus. To control the fan speed, do the wires have to cross at some point along the line? Is that why these connections are like this? Help?! Thank you.
 
does it work though?

I have Nexus and I never looked how the colors matched up it just worked fine.
 
I just don't want to turn anything on until someone has confirmed that this IS the right way to hook it up.
 
:mad:Look dumb a$$, I've already had one bad video card, a motherboard was bad and I had to return a router. I would prefer not to have aynmore parts go bad whether it's my fault or not. Anyway, if you must know I turned it on last night and everything was fine.
