Cabinet cooling with pc fan

[hadreth]

Hi,

I currently have a heating issue with my ps4. It's inside a cabinet and it's running hot, really hot. It's probably gonna blow it's self out of the cabinet any time now. 🙁
So I want to build in some case fans for my cabinets, forcing some ventilation becuase the whole cabinet gets hot. Eventough it's doesnt have a door, it's just a tight fit.

I wanted to use a 230ac to 12v dc 6A adaptor and hook up 2 pc fans with a light switch. Using it as exhaust fans. Now I know they run at 12v but if i get a 9v it runs slower right? So it makes less noise? Havn' t decided yet.. Might get a better fan that runs slower by default.

Can u let me know what u thing about this plan? Or how you guys did it?

greetings,

Ron v.

these or something like them. you can utilize the USB on the PS4/TV/ other USB to power the fans.

not endorsements examples only

you can run a 12V fan at 9V or 7V or even 5V. the RPM will decrease as the power does
