How do I power these ?!

[MandoMassive]

I just came across these and want to use them to cool down my pc . Only I don't know how to power them :/. I have two of them. Any suggestions ? thank you !

These are AC motor based fans. You can't use them in a PC.

You just need to solder those yellow wires to something longer and power it to SATA

[SupaKomputa]

You can't, it's a AC motor, you can however running it directly from the wall.

Have any idea on how to power them? The two cooling fans I have on my PC now are powered by a separate power supply. An 12-volt power supply that belong to an old router I just splice the ends and connected the fans, the fans do not pull any power from the motherboard or any word on the computer.

This is absurd, it wont run with the PSU power.

The yellow cable are Plus and Minus (can swap it on AC), and the green is ground.

Is this true? I don't want to end up like the kid who put his phone in the microwave to hatch eggs in Pokemon lol

I agree with you supercomputer.. I know definitely my computer's power-supply will not have enough power to push is fan on

I'm absolutely sure, if it were PC fans, the voltage won't be more than 12 volts. It's either 5v or 12v.

It's even written in the specs: AC115V.

Okay I'm going to try that. It would be done like this? 

[SupaKomputa]

Yes, try it (assuming the power is 110v not 220v)

[SupaKomputa]
