is it safe to wire two 80mm fans 12v .17a,12v .23a and a 120mm fan 12v .85 on a adaptor putting out 22 vdc 7va?

thanks for input

i would get a 12 volt adapter and just wire them in parallel. way better bet. they cost like $1 at most thrift stores :)

Why not spend like $10 and wire each up separately with the proper adapters instead of trying to ghetto rig something that will probably reduce the operating lifespan of your fans and be a potential fire hazard?

yeah for sure it will. just wire all the negative wires together and all the positive ones and hook it up
