That's not a problem! You can always just splice the wires and crimp on some bullet terminals, or even solder a male 3-pin plug onto them.



But yeah, 120mm or 140mm, either way its very easy to replace.

Well the LED's are gone! It was extremely easy considering each LED bulb had 2 wires running along the midframe to the outer ring. So I snipped them off with a gap inbetween both ends and then staggered the hanging ones by a short length so they wouldn't ever "connect" on accident, then wrapped the hollowframe they run through with electrical tape so they wouldn't fall out and catch anything in the PSU.

At first I wasn't sure it worked because there was still a blue LED coming from the back of the PSU, but then I realized it was the status light, haha. I don't remember what the settings are, but one is blue, yellow and red. Yellow didn't do anything at first, but red cranked the fan all the way up which wasn't that loud actually. I believe yellow is a special setting that keeps the fan running a few minutes after you turn the computer off to exhaust the rest of the hot air from the PSU to prolong its life.
