ok Math isnt my best subject n im just getting a head ache... basically im just curious and dont want to start a fire.... ok my fan draws .11 Amps, Dc converter is 700ma..... now does this mean that the converter is .7amps? which would be bad cause you would want the dc converter rating higher then the fan draws so it doesnt over heat? i dont know much about electrical stuff if you know please help thanks.....

I run a 120mm 12v pc fan off of a 5v 0.7a Samsung travel adapter (phone) and it is just fine.

Basically my question is ".11A=110mA?" or 1100mA

0.11A x 1000 = 110mA

I ent advising on what can or can't create a fire The computer fans i use spare 120mm silverstone fans, 0.65 amp. 12v DC which is run off a 0.7A phone charger. Strangely another spare silverstone pc fan of the same size state that it is 0.07A which seems like quite a variation on the 0.65 of the other one.

Near lunchtime here pal, i'm almost awake and with a functional brain, might need a bit more sugar first though
