    and can't find on online for the life of me. So if anyone has an idea where I cna find one that ships to canada please let me know. I would even settle for a usb fan 80mm. Im basically trying to upgrade my laptop cooler with more fans which is fed from the usb port.

    most fans of that type dont draw too much.

    It's likely to be under 0.1A.

    You could also look around for some fans that will run at 5v but are 12v rated. I had some panaflos that were good for starting and running on 5v.

    I'd browse FrozenCPU some more - we go to them for most cooling/fan needs. That or possibly Xoxide or Directron, although Frozen is better with categorizing. Silverstone makes some decent adjustable fans, if I recall. Not sure on the 80mm size, though.

    Thanks a lot K-TRON.

    I found a really nice fan on there.
    The price is too high for me though, $39 AUD (shipping inc.) is not worth it.

    But the 9.2CFM is the best I have seen for a fan of that size (45mm x 6mm).
    It is tempting.
