    Please look at the attached picture. Is that a 2pin connector? If so, are there any usb or ac adaptors for it? (2pin --> ac or usb) I tried searching for it but no luck. What exact terms should I search with?

    Thanks :eek:

    I am trying to put a notebook cooler together, so I am shopping for a cpu fan and I assume most of them have the plug like the above(if they don't, please let me know what plugs they are). I would need a usb or ac adaptor for it.

    you could just cut the plug off, then connect the wires directly to the usb port. Or if you have an old usb flash drive that you could take apart and solder the wires to it then plug the drive into the usb port.
