Hello I want to install an additional fan on my pc (Dell Tower 3620) and I can't find any port to it and there is not any additional wire from its power supply? Is there's a solution? I Think of connecting it on parallel with the other fan but I don't like to kill my pc like my last one :)

You need mounting space on the case (square space, grill, 4 mounting holes) and then spot (socket) on the power supply to attach the fan to. Unusual (I think) to add a fan in a manufactured PC. Make sure PS fan and CPU fan are working (not dusty) and see if there might be a 3rd fan already.– anonCommented Jul 18, 2021 at 13:54

there is not any additional port of the power supply and the two fans are connected directly to the socket of the motherboard– Omar_HafezCommented Jul 18, 2021 at 13:59

I am not sure how you will make this modification. You need space on the case and open the power supply to create new socket. This may not be practical to do.– anonCommented Jul 18, 2021 at 14:01

I think of connect it to the 5V USB to get DC Volt but not sure this will work or this will not harm the pc at least in the long term– Omar_HafezCommented Jul 18, 2021 at 14:03

See if the fan is 5 V - some are 12 V.– anonCommented Jul 18, 2021 at 14:04
