5V fan is still too loud

[Cholathor]

So I repurposed a psu fan and since it has only red and black wires i connected them to the molex 5v output and it is still too loud. How do i make it slower?

You could put a resistor in line with it, but you probably just need a different fan.

And how do i do that? Is there a way to do this at home?

If you can solder, than you can put a resistor inline. Maybe 10ohm 2 or 5W ... You will have to experiment... BUT for whatever it costs to "McGuvier" this, you can buy a quiet fan...

Yeah you might be right... but i wanted to use this fan so badly 🙁
