The fan is inside the PSU. The same PSU is used on the Classic & Panther.
It is temperature controlled. Some fans are three wire with extra wire being
speed control, without taking one apart I don't know what type the Iyonix
PSU uses.

I know you have more than one Iyonix so it might be easier to get a full new
PSU and then you will have time to examine the fan at leisure!
