My PS fan has started making a grinding sound so probably needs replacing. It's an older PC so I don't want to replace the PS itself.

I've looked around for (& bought) a new one only to find the wiring doesn't match up. The faulty one has red, black & blue wires but all the replacement fans I can find have red, black & white wires.

My question(s) are:
1. Where can I find a fan (8cm; 12V) with same wiring as the old one?
or
2. Can I do a splice job connecting the white wire to the blue wire & using the old connector on the new fan (so the wiring matches up to the pins in the proper sequence)?
Thanks
