[QUOTE="Lotus, post: 158108, member: 28192"] On my SNES-PC I need to fit two small Laptop fans onto a normal motherboard. As best I can tell both fans are 5 amp. I was thinking I might be able to rig them both onto a normal fan hookup, but would rather not burn them both up as they are rather hard to come by, at least the style I was using. So, if you have any ideas that you know will work, or any that you think may work, that'll be sweet. I have a normal fan hookup available, a USB 2.0 hookup, a couple firewire hookups, and a four point hookup power cable available. EDIT: Hooking them up to the USB power and ground works great. You can also hook them up the 3-pin fan hookups, however it seems like too much power, as the fan friggin spins when hooked up, it was humming like you wouldn't believe. But USB seems about perfect.
