CRJ DC 12v Power Supply: https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-Power-Supply-4-Pin-Computer/dp/B071FNN9W7/

I have several fans left over from old PC builds. Most are Noctua, NZXT, and a several Corsair. I also have more than enough extensions and splits.

but I'm not sure how many fans I can chain to this...

120mm: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KF7R49S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

140mm: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07655KF5C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1


thoughts?


Edit: I see now. 120mm is .1a, and the 140mm is .13a

Pretty easy to figure out.

12V 1a power supply.

The 120mm fan you linked is .1a.

1 amp power supply. Fan draws .1a.

10 ;)

All I see is 12v listed in the item description. Where do you see .1a? I must be blind.

Your power supply is rated for 1A current so probably somewhere between 1.5-5 fans depending in their draw. I have seen them from 200ma to 700ma and the listings you posted didn't say. I would look into a beefier power supply with a higher current ratings if you want to run several, or research the exact fans you have to see their current draw.

Nope. Noctua is .1a. Supply is 1a. 10

Fat fingered it and edited the post and it didn't change. I saw the specs and did the math right. Stupid fingers!

LOL!

Look at the picture of the fan. Says .1a right on it.
