Explain, do you mind linking me what you used. Are 12V adapters have the circular input plug like a laptop charger how did you get it to power a 3-4pin plug?

Not sure what you mean. Is it a 12volt pump?

Oops sorry, I replied in a rush


So as long as its a 12V computer fan connectin them there shouldn't be a problem with the adapter being to much for the computer fan? Sorry don't know much about this and voltages.
