Computer case fan in humidor help

[RGD.]

First - because you won't have a transfer of air from inside to outside of the humidor you won't be lowering the temp. Fans inside of humidors are used for circulation.

Second - you know those wall transformers that you have laying around from old telephones, chargers, etc. Use one of those. Your computer fan will either run on 5 or 12 volts. Just find a transformer with roughly the correct output and there ya go.

This is absolutely correct. Further, if you put the transformer inside the humidor you will be adding a heater which will just make things worse.

I'm a believer in circulation but you should take care of the heat problem first. What kind of temps are you seeing?

74-75 degrees and I moved from a shelf to on the floor in front of an ac vent with no temp change. I thought this might cool it down since heat rises but it didn't work.

For how long has it been in front of the vent? It's going to take awhile - days.

Suggest something along the lines of those plastic ice packs, dry-ice, etc. Have a basement or furnace (central A/C )room? Try moving it to one of those areas.

It's been in front of the vent for about 2 weeks now..I have central air. Good idea about the ice packs I may try them. I have a basement but don't really want to move it down there. Thanks for the help!
