How to POWER computer fan?!

[davidhseo]

I was wondering how to power computer fans for ventilating my closet growing room?

 

[FuzzyBud]

a computer powersupply anything else owuld require oyu to rig somthing that would probably catch on fire

 

[William Holden]

No, thats not true. I've heard of people somehow wiring that shit to work with like a battery of some sort. I dont know though, but the power supply would be overkill to power just a computer fan.

all you need is a 12v adapter that goes from the fans molex connecter to a 12v power connecter that goes straight into your wall outlet. very easy and it can look sick if you get a light up L.E.D fan :hump:

this has nothing to do with the thread but kinda dumd to make 1 jus for it.

could i start 2 plants in the smae 5 gallon bucket ??

you could buy a power supply for a comp and plug that in to an outlet and then plug the fan in to one of the connectors on the power supply. Just dont connect it to the comp.

would a computer fan do the job right??

i cut allt he wires and bought 18 guage wire and wired all my computer fans together and plugged it into a socket, works like a charm in my grow box, been using them for a while no fire yet.

 

[CannabisDragon]

nice need to try that

or...buy a 2 dollar connector and not rewire into a different gauge wire?

you should get an ac to dc wall adapter, those big block looking power cords. It must be 12V! With this there will be 2 wires, 1 neg, 1 pos. find and connect neg to neg and pos to pos on the fan and should work fine. Beauty of this it can have multiple fans if it stays a good voltage.

yeah 12 v. but like was said before about the led fan. dont use it it will interupt the night cycle.
