On my Case Cooler Master Enforcer there is a front 200mm fan and i want to remove that red LED light from it(cut off)

I found the cooler on my case on google and it looks like this

There are 3 wires going to the mid like heatsink so i don't know which is LED one
Left wire=Black
Mid wire=Red
Right wire=White

Any way to know which is LED one so that i can cut off red LED from my fan
 
Solution
Unless I miss my guess

Left wire=Black = Ground
Mid wire=Red = Negative
Right wire=White = Positive

Meaning the answer is none. Replace the fan with a non-LED version.

The link you gave is dead. the most logic explanation would be the white cable. the white cable on electrical circuit, normally represents a neutral cable. But because there is only 3 cables I strongyl think that the Led and fan are parallel mounted meaning that if you cut the Led power, you will cut the fan power to.

So there is no way to remove/cut off LED ?
 


Noctua fans are excelent I strongly recommend it if you can afford it. Another cheaper solution is the Cougar I bought 3 yesterday on the specs they are exactly the same II would take the one cheaper for you. In my case the Cougar.
