Can I use a fan from an old PSU as a spare fan?

So I salvaged parts from my old pc and got spare fans (three in total), One from the cpu cooler heatsink, one from the cover, and one from the PSU.

I connected the heatsink fan to my motherboard and it works
I connected the cover fan using a 4-pin molex (that it came with) and it works

but this fan from the PSU is rather odd, It's 2-pinned

Can I even use it?

If yes then how do I connect it to my pc?

Thanks in advance!

Check the nameplate on the fan. If it is 12VDC, you can use it. The two wires are +12V and ground. The connector on the end probably is different from the motherboard fan headers. So you may need an adapter if you can find one. Or cut the connector off and splice on the correct connector.
