Usb fans

[Noob872]

I installed a new psu and graphics card in my dell 3671. However now i wanted to add a another case fan, using a fan splitter. However i found this person who said that dell doesn’t have standard fan connection. So i was thinking of using usb fans. Are they a good option as a last resort

USB is only 5V. So if thats your only option, then yes. HP doesn't use standard things, don't know about Dell.

So the fans wouldn’t work on my dell Inspiron 3671?

I didn't say that. USB will provide less voltage than normal fan header, so performance will be less. And I don't have experience nor remember whether Dell uses proprietary connectors or not. You could always get hardware controller and hook it directly to PSU.
