The unit might turn on but it could overheat, lag rainbows, or even lock up on you when you go to plug in devices. Overheating would be the more dangerous problem, especially since the fans themselves need energy to work properly. Even if the pin connectors matched up I wouldn’t think you’d get enough power.
