PC Grow,still having heating problems -- Got a Fan question

Hello all,

I have set up a small pc grow op and on my first grow with them had several issues with heat. Thus, I have ordered larger fans. After setting one of the larger fans up I tried to feel the 'more air' coming in, yet, it felt about the same. The new fans I ordered are quite large in size comparison and are suppose to be rated at 88 cfm. I was wondering if it was maybe the cord I was using to splice into. I heard that all cell phone wall chargers were 12v so I have used two wall chargers. However, when I look on the back of them all I can find is 5vOutput. I was wondering if I should consider replacing these? Thanks in advance, I need to get growing again soon :-)

well i got a pc grow case, and its got two 42 watt cfls in there, and temps are around 75-82ish. I got two intake pc fans at the bottom side of the wall, then above that i added two exhaust fans. I have one fan glued to the side wall in the middle to circulate air. I drew this picture up a while ago, its how i did it. Then fans are 12v btw

you are basically running your fans less than what they need. Get an adapter that MATCHES the v for your fan. then youll get the full 80cfm

Thanks for the help guys. I will be ordering some 12v chargers in the next few days.
