ShawnM Posted January 29, 2013 Author Share Posted January 29, 2013 I looked at frys and the only ones I could find were the ones connected to the ribbon plug style. I need one that I can plug into the wall. the size like 5-6 diameter fan would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(Bio)³ Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Buy the fan and splice it in or buy a power supply that coverts 110 to the 12v ribbon. They sell em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jestep Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Measure the fan from edge to edge. I think it's a 40mm fan. It's definitely 12V, .7W. The 12V, 100mA power supply should be perfect for this. The rating on the PSU is max rating. Unless they're a constant current PSU like we see in a LED circuit, you can use a higher rated PSU, just not a lower one. Also, they're pricey, but if you want a good fan, Noctua is about the best you can buy. They do have a 40mm - http://www.noctua.at/main.php?show=productview&products_id=47&lng=en Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
