You didn't check the polarity on the wires coming from the acdc adapter. You got lucky. And you failed to inform the viewer of voltages and amperages. Any of these too much for your fan to handle could result in overheating, melting, fire, and in some cases your acdc adapter to explode. Plus you forgot the filter. Activated carbon works best.

@jojuae i did advise them about the polarity of the wires and the AC adpter i used had the correct amount of volts coming out of it... and it would explode anyway, it would just trip the breaker. and for the filter, i said i would cover it in a later video but of course i have been to busy to do so... this is a fan NOT A FILTER!!

That psu is more useful as a power supply, you can supply power to more fans and even a few lights and more depending on the watts it can handle

it´s smart to not open that thing! there can be some electricity in the capacitors! sorry for bad english!
