Computer fan power content for ac dc outlet?

[mrjones15]

I'm trying to find a converter to make this fan be able to be powered through an ac dc outlet if possible. Thank you!

TBH, there's no point in that. Just plug it into your psu.

The fan should be 12v. Just grab a 240v to 12v adaptor.

Was kinda hoping you'd post one for me 😛 just to make sure it's the right one

I haven't seen a 240v to 3-pin 12v adapter. You'll probably have to cut off the ends of both the fan and adapter and solder them together.

Really, any 12v adapter will do, but here's one anyway.

I've been thinking I was just gonna get a 12v usb port and use the usb adapter instead of outlet and probably gonna have to use a 5v to 12v usb booster right? Not sure if that'd work.

It would work, but I think it would be simpler to just get an adapter, unless you are not comfortable with soldering. You can just strip the wires and wind them together. You can then use a glue gun to insulate it.

Still, I'd highly recommend soldering it together, because that method is really a last-choice.

Alright that sounds simple enough I'll just have to get the tools to do it thanks for the help
