Ok I am lost... anyone have any ideas?

I ordered 30 of these... but they have 4 black wires. The connector has no markings... I have no data sheet. I have no clue which goes to the S5 Red White Black Blue.  Huh

Any thoughts?

Strato
I see that the pinout information has been provided already so I can tell you that I used a scribe (pin will work too) to push in the locking tab to remove the pin the lifted it a little to lock in again. The locking tab is accessed in the rectangular opening of the connector. If you are uneasy about the change you can always try it out first to a power supply before connecting it to your miner. You will be very happy with these fans once you install them.
How does it compare to using an S3 fan on the S5?  Better or lesser cooling?  Louder or quieter operation?  Or perhaps, much the same?
I turned on the S5 just to hear the fan and already had these pulled out of storage knowing I would be putting the on the S5 from the reviews I read. Strato bought a bunch of these to replace the stock S5 fans which is where my comment was directed at. I could not say if these would work better or worse than the S3 fans, I did not have the opportunity to try them as I sold my S3s. If you have S3 fans to use I would try them, I think there have been others who may be using them as I see inquires about that fans spec. I can say that my ambient is relatively low, never above 27C, while the blades have never been above 58C and the fans are about 60db max. I think it would be interesting to know how the S3 fans work though. Without taking a db measurement of the S3, my S5 sounds about the same as my S3 in about the same ambient temp.
