This is my fan Rocketfishâ„¢ - 120mm Case Fan - RF-120FAN its 120mm 12v fan. my question is will my old gameboy charger run it well. Wall Charger for Nintendo Gameboy DS Advance SP GBA it says the output on it is 5.2v. since the fan is 12v thats where im confused.
If the output of the charger is not 12 volts, the fan may spin partial speed or not spin at all. Your best bet is to buy a 12v charger, they are cheap and available everywhere you can buy cell phones and electronics. See if you can find a 12v cell phone charger.
I got my 12v adapters on amazon for around $8. Remember that the voltage is what you're most worried about. Amperage is less important, but if you're running a higher end fan that moves a lot of air, you're going to want at least 1 amp on the 12v adapter. The rocketfish fan should probably do ok with about 500mA (half an amp), but remember: you can push multiple fans with one power supply given that your amperage is high enough. Smokey
