Its not 10V but only 5V. Some 12v fan may run on 5V but at lower speed.
Thus it is still possible to run your case fan from the usb. google it and you will get more result since many ppl have done it b4. |

If you cut the fan's cables you will see two cables; red and black. What I did was get a usb cable that I'm no longer using, and connect the red cables together as well as for the black. For 12V, it will definitely run like nxfx said but at a lower speed.
