Pulse Width Modulation. Fan speed is controlled not by a resistor (heat generating, not as efficient), but by a circuit that alternates voltage nearly on, and nearly off at strategic times. The result is fan speed control. PWM fans have more than 2 wires. The downside is possible electronic noise.

You could. Apparently though, you don't get the point. And that's ok.

I use 22 guage 300v multistrand, The current draw is very low. 22 is actuallly overkill. I've used 24 and 26 on occasion. Definitely use multi strand.

what gage wire do you use on pwm wire and what gage wire would you use to add 4 LEDs in series to the fan?

Thanks
