    This one will not work, because it has a 12V power supply and rpi is powered by 5V.
    You connect to the power supply and after the case, unless you want it to be controlled as in a PC is a program in phyton to write and control pwm via gpio.

    You can do the most. Let the minimum 2A have current efficiency.

    And, in terms of the fan, if you use copper heat sinks and do not build it too much, it will be completely unnecessary. For me, raspberry works as a KODI and a torrent and NAS server, in housing and temp does not exceed 62st.

Topic summary

To connect a regular fan to a Raspberry Pi 3 (RPi 3), it is essential to ensure compatibility with the power supply. The fan must operate at 5V, as the RPi 3 is powered by 5V, while some fans may require 12V, which is not suitable. For a straightforward setup without control, connect the fan's ground to GPIO GND (Pin 6) and the power to GPIO VCC (Pin 4). A power supply with a minimum current rating of 2A is recommended for optimal performance. If using a fan with copper heat sinks, additional cooling may be unnecessary, as the RPi can operate efficiently under typical loads.
