how to connect a single wire connector of thermaltake fan in area 51 R2

this fan has a 3 pin connector but it is not a fan connector, it has a single wire only.  it gets its power via molex.

what is this 3 pin for?  I guess rgb but have never seen it before.  I accidentally plug it in a 4 pin header.

Hey Red, that solo yellow wire is the  fan tach / rpm signal --> if you plug it into any motherboard 3/4pin fan header it'll register as a working fan & report its speed as normal (or should, supposed to)
