It is possible but I did it with a spare 2 pin fan.

i dont realy wanna spend money on it :L 

usb outputs at 5v so you could technically run it at lower speeds if you splice a usb cable and connect the red/black wires to the fan pins

would 2 usb cables work??

yes, just wire it in parallel, but that would be pretty loud. I recommend a single 5v port for low power impact and noise. Oh, and if your laptop is overheating, it is most likely going to be dust build up causing the problem. I've seen laptops run at 95 C with the heatsinks choked with dust.

Build: Fx-8120@4.1ghz,  Gtx770@1.0ghz,  16gb Patriot memory,  Cheap case from thermaltake
