• PC PSU converts wall-socket 230v AC to internal-bus 12v DC? So therefore a 12v case fan will work from a car electrical system? I know almost nothing about this btw.

  • Yep, you'd be overvolting the fan a bit given the voltage from the alternator will usually be between 13.8v and 14.4v, but it should be fine. I've used PC CPU fans before for cooling regulators on bike engines. Worked nicely.

  • What volts does your car run? Or what feed can you find 12-13.8-14.4v Does it matter to the fan I mean that the fan will turn faster/slower or internally melt. Some people fit them to motorbike rec/reg to cool them.

    Oh and mount it on rubber mounts so things don't vibrate and produce noise.

  • Yeah computer stuff is 12Vdc so will hook right up to car Stuff no bother.
    A guy with an 855 plumbed one in on a spare dash switch to run for 20 minutes beyond ignition off to ventilate the boot of dog moisture. Used to be a legit optional extra, but likely some epic amount of cash
