Almost ALL Panaflo fans have rpm monitoring built in, it is simply the tails that determine whether or not you can use it. There used to be a site that sold the 3pin tails, but I cant find it for the life of me...
I don't think so. Only the fans with
1BX designation are guaranteed to have RPM monitoring. The rest
may or
may not have the circuitry built-in.
screw3d is right most Panaflos
ARE NOT RPM Sensing Fans
For anyone that really wants RPM sensing panaflo's you can get them from
Digikey (of course they are more than BG Micro). I have a pair of M1 BX Panaflos that I use for CPU fans in my Dual rig and they are sweet. They are on page
1151 of the Digikey catalog.

They have a $25.00 minimum order and the fans don't come with headers. Digikey sells the tails without three wire molexs' on them.
2cooltek sells the 3 wire Headers for $1.00, you can also get
RPM Sensing panaflos at 2cooltek for a few bucks more. Might be worth it after the shipping for just thge headers and the minimum order from Digikey.
like I said it's not the BGmicro deal but they got RPM's.....
