Using your fan Connect the Red wire to Pin 4 (+5V) Black Wire to Pin 6 (GND) Blue wire to Pin 8 (GPIO 14 TXD) Once you have connected your fan, by default it will be on whenever your Raspberry Pi is running.

Using a recent version of Raspberry Pi OS, first update to retrieve any recent changes to the operating system: Open the Terminal, either from the Start menu (click the Raspberry Pi icon in the top left corner) or by pressing Control + Alt + T . Type sudo apt update and then, when the update has finished, type sudo apt full-upgrade . Then open theRaspberry Pi Configurationtool: Click on the Raspberry Pi icon in the top left corner and select Preferences then Raspberry Pi Configuration . Select the Performance tab.
