I've got some old PS1 smoke units I've been going through for future projects. I've got a really old one that has some odd color wiring I haven't seen before. The wire leads on the fan are blue and yellow. Anyone know which wire is power and which is ground with the blue and yellow wire set up? Thanks.

Look at the plug. Which is on the ground and which is off the 5V regulator lead. G
Forgot to report back but that's what I ended up doing. Yellow was ground, blue 5V power.
I was going to say, the conventions is different and they used white as + and Yel as ground. So Blue would match white. I always check when doing an upgrade out of habit. G
I make sure the fan spins clockwise if I have to connect again. Most of the time the motor does have a polarity indication, but occasionally they don't have an obvious one.
