Antec PSU's have those. I plugged mine into fan2, and it shows up in MbM @ 1500-2000RPM

Its only a fan monitor cable relax, usually u have to plug it into the place where the cpu fan monitor goes and the cpu one in the other ones usually in the middle of the mobo

I have it set into my fan controller that came with the psu. So I can adjust the speed of the fans in the PSU. Did you psu come with a fan adjuster? Mine did and that is where is goes. If not is it used as sensor for your motherboard to adjust fan speed for your psu.
