Indeed, 99% of PC cooling fansd like this are BL- the white/yellow wire is the signal wire, so that when plugged into a fan controller or the PC's motherboard, the speed can be controlled to increase cooling when needed, or to decrease cooling & noise when not needed. The actual controller is built into the fan, you just vary the volts the vary the speed.

I got my gear cooked today and they are no longer nice and shiny. I'm soaking them in degreaser to the gunk off. A minute or 2 with a wire wheel and I am starting to see silver again. Burned boiling oil smells horrible.

did you do it yourself or somewhere else do it for you? exactly how was it done, do you know?

I bent a hook on the end of a straightened coat hanger and hung the gear on it. My mechanic heated it up with the torch to cherry and I dropped it into the oil.

just used motor oil? or new? 10w30? lol.

It was a misture of new Wal-Mart brand 10-30 and Valvoline 10-30. Thats what I had laying around.

I had to do some dremel sanding to get the hub to fit into the milled out area after the hardening? Wonder if the gear would have changed size slightly ? Or maybe it was a buildup of oil bakes on gunk ?
