Re: Stepper Controller Questions

It ought to be fine. I do it all the time.

It is not so much the voltage for the fan that matters. There are different noise rating for fans and that is what you have to
watch. Also gratings or guards close to the fan blades create extra noise. I have used AC fans that have been extremely quiet.
