Yate Loon fan with thermistor - please explain

**Orson Cart** · March 9th 12, 07:51 AM posted to alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt

I stripped some junked PCs, and pulled a Yate Loon D12SH-12 fan from
one. It has a thermistor on about 25 cm of wire attached.
It has the standard 3-pin connector for case fans.
When I search for this model number I find it was a high-flow fan,
and see pictures on a few websites (mostly parts vendors) but none of
these show the dangling thermistor.
So was there a special model of these fans with it's own speed control,
perhaps intended for keeping fanless graphics cards in check?

Or possibly intended for mounting on a CPU heatsink with the thermister
attached to that? I've seen several CPU HSFs with 120mm fans.
