PC fan runs on 12v but can i run it on 9v to slow it down?can't it burn down adapter?

you can run it on 9v ,i'm running 240v server fans on 120v to make them super quiet.

make sure the power supply can pump enough current though

how can i do that???

ok simple bit of maths coming up

on ur fan it will have the voltage and the power consumption in watts

so on mine it says its a 240v fan consuming 20w of power , to find out what current the fan is drawing divide the power by the voltage,in my case 20 divided by 240 =.083

thats quite a small current ,as long as my power supply can deliver .083 amps i'm ok

i dont know what ur using for a power supply but it should have an amp rating on it

so take the power of ur fan(in watts) divide it by the voltage (9v?) and make sure this figure is less that the current (amps) output of ur power supply.

i hope i aint confused you ,of course you could just plug it in and hope for the best

well haven't find it out yet. i pluged it and it works fine. i am woried a bit because i will plug other PC fan to adapter(i read somewhere that it is ok to plug few fans to one adapter). well i'll try and see.
