Your question is difficult to understand (Not sure what "I cant try anything" means).

Most computer fans will run at 12 volts (nominally), so if you get a fan, and can find another 12 volt power supply - eg– e.g. the kind that comes with a lot of electronic devices where the supply is built into the plug [ you[you can use less thenthan 12 volts,volts; it will just spin slower and not move as much air ]air], you can wire up the fan directly to that 12 volt-volt supply instead of using the computerscomputer's supply. You will, of-course course, need to find a way to join the wires [ soldering[soldering iron, solder, and insulation tape are simple and effective ]effective].

Doing this on a water cooler might not be a good idea though (current requirements, possible grounding issues)
