Question diy?

[iMatty]

So i had a question in mind, like i live in a really hot country, and now a days the temps are getting up to 48C during the day.
So i have my front panel off because else my pc would warm up pretty quickly, and i live pretty much on 3rd floor and last floor staright connected with the room, which makes it even worse.
I had a question, i have an adapter connecting a fan infront and there is a spot to another fan, should i just plug it with it and run it outside until i finishj at night then remove it?
Or is there a way to use a USB cable to power this fan? its a 3 pin header fan, and will it damage the USB port?

Thank you in advance!

What fan and what adapter is it you are using?

now a days the temps are getting up to 48C during the day.

Sooner sounds like it would just be easier living in a fridge my friend!

I really would like to LOL, i live in doha and temps are pretty normal like that for us in summer.
But though is it possible? i wanna use the fan to cool me not the pc LOL.

Oh i just saw your first question, its an adapter from 3 pin to molex, and also my case is the old nzxt h440 with the hub that is powered by molex, so pretty much 4 of my fans powered by that hub full speed, and two 140 airflow nzxt fans in top controlled by motherboard.

And i noticed that this fan i wanna use does not have a 3pin connect it has a molex connector, any ideas?

So just to confirm, you have a fan that has a 3 pin header fan that you want to use to direct at yourself, but want to see if there is a way to not plug it into your fan hub just to make it easier?
It probably is just easier to plug it into your fan hub - however something like this may be what you are looking for if I am reading correctly?

But you'll just have to bear in mind that the USB port will only output 5V, so you'll want a fan that requires the same or less for full speed.

Well after i looked at the fan again and noticed how dumb iam, it is a molex powered fan, not even 3pin and if it was 3pin i would've connected it to the free adapter infront of my case, thats why i wanna use a usb or something to power it if possible

In which case something like this is what you're looking for? https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/202701970509?chn=ps
Again, I can't comment on the quality of these adapters as I have never used them - but my guess for the main issue you will face is the 5V limitation.

Doesnt really matter, as long there is something cooling me in this temp i wouldn;t mind.

As I said, living in a fridge option is better IMO. 👍

My wonderful 12 degrees here is surprisingly, not jealous of your heat!

See as long my pc doesn't over heat and shut down am pretty happy! though we have air conditionals or w/e its called, by because i live on roof and basically sunlight straight into my room my ac could barely cool.
And plus my pc stays under 75C underload and GPU at 59C am impressed!
Though i would love that 12 degree of yours not jealous or anything..🙁
