Or whatever the four lead power deal is. I got the multimeter and checked
and sure enough yellow is 12 and red is 5. What set me off on this high tech
query is that in putting a fan on the heatsink of my ATX/G3 it has a red and
black power lead to the fan itself, and a passthrough/ extension for the
four lead (what I call Molex) and this color/voltage reversal confused me
(the fan is clearly marked 12v).0.2? (whew)
 

R.A., almost all fans have black and red leads regardless of the fan 
voltage.  On the fan the black will "almost" always be ground and the 
red will be either 12v or 5v depending on the fan itself.  The wire  
color on the fan is not voltage=color coded.
