It only requires 12V so you can use a 12V adapter and power it. You would need to make a 12V DC to SATA power connector which is just splicing two pair of wires together.

 

But honestly, you may want to have it plugged into a PC because then you can run scripts to control the fans, set/log RPM and so on.

So I guess I'd need an extra-long cable. 

I've been using computers since around 1978, started learning programming in 1980 on Apple IIs, started learning about hardware in 1990, ran a BBS from 1990-95, built my first Windows PC around 2000, taught myself malware removal starting in 2005 (also learned on Bleeping Computer), learned web dev starting in 2017, and I think I can fill a thimble with all that knowledge. 😉 I'm not an expert, which is why I keep investigating the answers that others give to try and improve my knowledge, so feel free to double-check the advice I give.

My phone's auto-correct is named Otto Rong.🤪😂

Depends on your setup I guess.

 

I don't know how many people actually have this need but it would be pretty easy to make a "fan controller" that is connected to WiFi. 🙂
So you can monitor and control your fan(s) remotely. 🙂

Easy for you, Sasa, but totally a mystery to me. 😉
