On both locations, PSU and case fans, I had to switch polarity of the SilenX fans to match the wiring on the OEM fans. I used black and red Sharpies to mark the connector on the OEM fans so that I knew where to put the red and black wires. Then I used a paper clip to release the wires from the OEM & SilenX fans and swapped the connectors so that the new fans could plug into the motherboard.
