    Don't be too suprised if your fan fails, most laptop chargers are 19v & that is far to much voltage to be throwing at 12v fans

    as mystery says,you dont want to be putting more voltage threw,or your fans will fail,just use a 12v multi adapter then you also have a fan speed controller with turning up or down the volts.
