Huh? you mean connect the 2 power cables on the ATX thingy on the PSU together? wont that short the PSU? I don't want to kill my power supply, want to be absolutely sure before i do it.

provided u connect the green ( theres only 1 ) and any of the black wires ur PSU shouldnt be fried. use some electrical tape or any tape to secure and isolate it. thats the method used to start a PSU without using a motherboard. of course when connecting the 2 cables together ensure that the PSU is unplugged otherwise u just might end up frying urself.

personally....i think the method below by deric88 would be the easiest

Haiyaaaaaa u fellas all so high tech until forgot the very basics pulak. He wanna test a simple fan oni lar. N he scared to short the PSU.

TS, all u need to do is go tap ure fan wires onto the car battery. So simple, nonid to short anything.

what if the fan has a pin connector? haha
the best way is unplug all the drive and power on the system..sure can test.

finally, the uncle hath spoken... just one question: isn't it easier to use one of the methods rather than lugging a 15kg car battery (assuming he has a spare batt that is working) into his bedroom?

good idea though.

Just use 1 black wire n 1 red wire to tap into the fan plug oni. The thing is that he doesn't wanna power up his PC to test the fans.






Just go to the garage, pop open the car bonnet n tap the wires onto the battery terminals oni. Wat for carry the batt into the hse?

just make sure you've pay your TNB bills... and sure you can turn on any of your fans...

lolz... thanks everyone!! i think i will use lucifahs method, because my mom is gonna question me A LOT if she sees me opening car bonnet to test a fan. normally shop display also use this method? I mean lucifahs method.

get a DC power supply...easier....

use a few of AA alkaline batteries...make sure it is sufficient volatage to power up the fan..huhu..noob answer..

Easiest method



granted its only 9v, but it'll run most of your fans

wah,so simple.but one thing,can we connect the wires to the battery without using the cap(top of the battery)???

if it is just wires, no problem

so if that case,can use 6 battery AA and connect in series method.we will get 9V too right.

i should try once even though i dont like to damage my molex connector

sure...... but need to press/stick it there
it won't run 12v fan in full speed, 12v use car battery like stated earlier

i think there is a battery which support 12V.the huge one like constuction brick.

im sure you are not going to spend rm1xx on a car battery + its heavy...

you can opt to either:

1. connect battery in series
2. use to 9v batteries and put a resistor on one so that output will be +- 12v
3. find these type of battery.(image below)

Some guide here

that's all is my idea actually...kihkih..

get this thing.
