I had to solder the wires but now the controller doesn't control the fan speed any more. How do I wire this correctly?

black and red went into the mobo, off the red and black is the 2 gray wires that connect to the fan.

Is the yellow wire what controls the voltage? I would think so considering that taking 2 wires to mobo and then from mobo would completely bypass the fan controller since electricity goes were it wants to.

Can't tell what you're trying to do from that picture. Perhaps you could give a model number or a picture of the wiring instructions from the manual, and also tell what you are trying to do.

The yellow wire is the "speed sensor" wire. Every time a fan (3 wire, red/black/yellow) rotates it sends a signal through the yellow wire. The fan controller counts those signals (one signal per revolution) to determine how fast the fan is going.

I have no picture or manual, if I did, I wouldn't be having a issue. I'm trying to control the fan speed from 0 to 12 volts. Thing is the controller isn't wired correctly. I thought how I wired it and explain how I did it was going to work, seems it did not.
