Okay, picked up some resistors and I'm ready to slow down this case fan:

I want around 1/2 speed, maybe less. All it's doing is moving air past a passive heat sink (Zalman northbridge heat sink). Here's my question: if I solder the 68 Ohm resistor in there, where should I put it? Does it matter if I put it on the red or black? Is the 68 Ohm going to slow it down way too much? Also, if I put the resistor in there, will it be safe for me to plug the other plug into the mobo to get fan speed readings?
