Insignia 120mm Case Cooling Fan

Q: I bought this from Best Buy yesterday not realizing it is a four-wire fan. Problem is I need a two-wire 12vDC fan, so could I wire this to run with two wires instead of four? Maybe pair up the two sets of wires, gray-gray and black-black? Thanks

A: Yes, just connect 12Vdc to the power wire and ground, or common to the GND wire. Each of the four wires has a specific purpose. 12V for power input; tach pulses to measure speed output; a PWM speed control input; and GND common to all the other. So, in your situation, you'll only use two wires, and two will not be used. The fan's spinout matches the standard found on motherboards over the past 15 years - that is why I'm not putting it here.

Q: Does it come with screws?

A: Yes

Q: dose this run fortnite?

A: No, this case fan does not run video games. It is a fan. It moves air through a computer.

Q: What power source is needed for this fan? Can It run straight 110v wall outlet? Which of the four wires are for power supply?

A: This fan is for the inside of a computer. It connects to a special connection on the motherboard. It cannot be connected to a 110v outlet.

Q: Are these considered Static Pressure Fans or Air Flow Fans? I wanted to mount these on a radiator, but I'm not sure if will be able to push the air through the fins.

A: Here are the specifications of this fan. Hope it's helpful to you. Air pressure: 1.72mmAq Air Flow: 32.46CFM Rotation Speed: 1200RPM Rated Voltage: 12V Rated Current: 0.03A Fan dimension: 120*120*25mm

Q: Can this fan be safely be adapted to using a wall plug for power. Obviously it won't be used for a computer, but to cool a/v receiver as sometimes it does that "all day burn" in light of my new found free time.

A: It can be used for this purpose with the use of a 100-240v AC to 12v 4-pin Molex adapter and a 4-pin Molex to 4-pin fan connector. If you are going to go with a solution like this, I recommend getting a Molex to fan connector with voltage controls or the fans will run at full speed at all times.

Q: I want to run this fan with 5 V, since it says it is NOT 12 V rated.

A: It would possibly work but at lower max rpm. It will not harm the fan though.

Q: how long is the cable?

A: The item is 1.6' feet long.

Variable speed case fan
Easy to install, connected to Chassis Fan 2 header on my mainboard. CPUID HW Monitor lists fan speed in RPM and it is confirmed variable speed. I could not find this specification on the packaging. Quiet so far-probably 40+ hours on it now. Purchased and installed 9/5/19. Reviewed 9/30/19. Easy to mount on front, bottom position of my 6 year old Asus G10AC case. (Don't over-torque the screws as they go directly into the plastic fan frame!) This did require removal of front face plate of case but this was not difficult either. You could mount this almost anywhere in your case but I mounted it on the front, bottom position, to pick up cooler air and force it into the case with the fans aided by natural convection. The G10AC case design is very good anyway - only one blue LED to let me know power is on. I added it to my system after a video card upgrade. I just wanted to get a little more flow through my case. Nothing was even close to overheating before adding this fan. This fan has no silly lights to waste power and generate more heat! As a long-time computer person and PC gamer, I don't understand why so many "gamers" think it's cool to waste power and generate more heat to dissipate. If you really cared about system performance you'd get rid of the waste. And add a fan! Come on, does your RAM benefit from LED lighting? Silly. Hardware isn't about flashiness and showy lighting. It's about computational power and efficiency. I tried to upload a screen shot showing the RPM of this fan is variable.

Are you serious?!
It was hanging on the shelf with several other fans. I grabbed the first one. Got home and opened it only to discover that there was no connector on the end of the wire. This in itself would not normally be a Best Buy problem but rather a Insignia quality control problem. What makes it a Best Buy problem is that only after discovering this and then looking at the box to see if I had missed something, I found the Best Buy "open box" sticker on the side of the box. The sticker say "No missing accessories/No damage." What makes it my problem is that I now have to drive back to Best Buy. Com'on Best Buy, you can do better than that. I don't know who you have checking returns but I would suggest that you use somebody that knows at least the basics of computers to check computer related items after they are returned...

Budget fans come with it own problems
I bought three of these fans and put them on my corsair icue 220t connect them to MSI carbon Pro. Everytime I turn the system on, at least one of them will not spin even though I plug the fans power connector into the right spot. Cheap fans come with their own problems.
