if you wire the fan to a universal power adapter that has a wide range of input volts, you can vary the speed. I used the one where you change the head with two prongs, to fit the back of a cd player or whatever, you can vary the speed of the fan by changing the input, like 5v, 7v 9v 12v or whatever, it makes it a bit more variable cause if its hot I can turn up the amps to the fan and it goes faster.
