The resistor cable is designed to allow the fan to run slightly slower for even quieter operation. The benefit in lower running noise is significant. Although the airflow will be reduced slightly, this usually has minimal effect on case temperature. I would recommend using the resistor for best results. The specifications on the website assume you will use the resistor.
