So the RED wire is 12v (runs the ATA drive), and the YELLOW is 5v? I have a fan hooked up to the YELLOW one (apologies for using CAPS, I'm not yelling) ...
No, you've got it backwards. The red wire (+5Vdc) runs the logic board and stuff while the yellow (my 8500's is blue) wire (+12Vdc) runs the motors and such. It's that way on any computer's Molex connector..
