Will a 5.2 volt cooling fan be enough to ventilate a 1ft by 1.5 ft by 3ft tall box?

My grow box is 1 ft by 1.5 ft by 3 ft tall. I will have 3 23 watt CFLs in there. I will have one plant in there.

I've got a small, 2 inch cooling fan from an old Xbox. 12 volts was too loud, but 5.2 volts was pretty much silent. So can I use the 5.2 or will it not ventilate the box?

maybe, but if your worried about the noise from a 12 volt fan wait till you have to deal with the smell of pot plants. if you have to use that fan, make your hole right above the lights and it should pull the heat from them out of the box.
