hooking up fans to 5v?

Fans have such low wattage that you shouldn't worry about hurting your PSU. The only thing that you should try to avoid is hooking anything up to your harddrive's molex(even though it probably won't cause any problems). Also, alot of power tapped from one molex can overheat it--spread your power taps.

And most (12V)fans stop spinning at 6V,
But you can try it anyways.

I've had good luck keeping fans spinning down to 3V (including panaflo's) but I haven't had a fan yet that will start at 5V. Test it out. Can't hurt as long as you don't wire it wrong (which would be hard to do).
