I have an old ffan from a computer or some other device and it is marked as brushless, but it has two wires protruding. if I look closely I can see a small PCB in there. I tried running DC through it but nothing happened. I want this to cool an OR on a hydro.
"brushless" cooling fan?

Also, 12v computer fans are picky about polarity. Try it wired the other way.Legend 36 sailboat, KMB Powerjet Ed Hardy Viper, ABC jet pwrd BBY Oval Master, ABC Hobby Jetski, NQD Tear Into's, HK Discovery 500, MickieBeez pwrd Jet Rigger!, Davette/Gravtix jet sprint, KMB Powerjet Pursuit, NQD pwrd Jet Catamaran!,Steam pwrd African Queen, Sidewinder airboat, Graupner Eco PowerComment

These things are pretty simple. Every one I have used didn't care about polarity, ran fine in reverse except the fan efficiency wasn't as good. Even my 12 volt fans will run on 7.4 volts. Save yourself the grief and just buy another fan....

Fluid, you're showing your age again! Modern pc fans are polarity protected by diodes to only operate in one direction. That is why I suggested checking the polarity. The fan might be fine (no need to buy another).Legend 36 sailboat, KMB Powerjet Ed Hardy Viper, ABC jet pwrd BBY Oval Master, ABC Hobby Jetski, NQD Tear Into's, HK Discovery 500, MickieBeez pwrd Jet Rigger!, Davette/Gravtix jet sprint, KMB Powerjet Pursuit, NQD pwrd Jet Catamaran!,Steam pwrd African Queen, Sidewinder airboat, Graupner Eco PowerComment
