add up the MA or wattage of the fans. if it doesnt exceed 80% of the adapters output, youre good to go. Hopwever, a 15v output may burn up your 12v fans. Whats the ma or wattage stated on the back of the fans? maybe I just dont really understand the info your giving me. Best of luck to ya

I put everything that is on the fan on the back of the adapter and fan. When it says adapter tht is the adapter and the fan is the fan hahaha

swap the adapters and it should work. smaller fan uses more amperage. just try it, and if the fan smoke, you just lost $5. small fan .22amps big fan .15amps 200ma= .2amps. Anyone correct me on this? Just remember, the amperage on the big adapter is rated at 15volts. The smaller fan should freakin fly on it! I bet the smaller fan will be exhaust cuz it pushes more air. fyi, i use those swichable adapters from walmart. Think it was under $10. Anyhow, the adapter is big enough to push (2) 80mm fans easily, 24/7.:leaf:
