I'm making this little guide to help some people out that are battling too high of temps or too much humidity. This works for both, in my case for too high of temps with low wattage.
Supplies
9v-12v power supply(you can use old phone chargers, usb, or modem power cords)
Computer Case fan(most are 12v and they usually run around $2-$8)
Wire cutters
Scissors
Electrical tape
I am using a different fan than this one, this fan has one RPM setting. This fan will be by my basking area if im away and reaches above 120f. I use a antec 3mode RPM fan, it has a low,med,high setting and I would recommend that.
Before we begin: We are working with electricity and wiring. Do not twist wires or work on them while the power supply is plugged in, in case of shock. I am in no way a electrician.
Computer fans usually come with white, black, red cords. White is sensor cord that you do not need, cut it off. Red is positive and black is negative
Strip away the protecting rubber and expose the wires
Strip wiring on the power supply, solid black cord is negative, and white stripe is postive
Twist the negatives and positives together, plug into socket and fan will spin. If you use a lower power AC adapter the RPMs may be lower but it shouldnt effect anything. Once its connected unplug it and cover exposed wires with electrical tape.
Hope this helped who needed insight on this, hopefully it can get stickied so people will understand it's easy and helpful especially in very hot summer in California
