all are 12v, just needs to be 2-3pin dc control
its header may have 2 pins, just means it does not detect the fans rpm, it will still plug in and work
worst case, plug it into a mobo fan header, or use a molex adapter
oil is a temp fix, it will need more in the future, and need to be replaced eventually
the psu only supplies regulated voltage, the fan will only draw the current it needs
a 10,000w psu will only put out the current it needs even if its only to a pi or an led that needs 0.02a
As long as the replacement fan is also rated for 12V, using a lower current fan (0.15A) is perfectly fine.
The PSU will not force 0.3A into the fan — it just makes 12V available, and the fan takes what it needs.
And also, get a PSU that is rated (A - Amps or mA - milliamps) equal or lower than the previous one. Since we don't know the electronics of it, better not go over.
PSU fans should be controlled by the 12V line while "reading" temperatures and/or power usage from the PSU.
WARNING!!
Now, the cautionary part. Opening a PSU will most likely void the warranty. Also, some of the capacitors inside can potentially hold enough juice to give you a good jolt (or much worse) even when unplugged. So, disconnect it from the wall, leave it a few hours and even then, try not to touch any exposed metal. And since I don't know your PSU, you might need to de-solder the old fan and resolder the new one.
Dead women and men can't play games.
if not use a mobo fan header
if the psu fan header is 2 pin, its fine to use a fan with 3-4pin cable (with rpm sense and pwm) only the power pins are needed and the fan will run at whatever voltage thepsu gives it
most atx psu fan connectors are 2pin like this

a 3-4pin pc case fan will plug into its header and still work as intended
the molex 7v adapters use the psus 5v and 12v rails, pulling up on the 5v.
bad design, and should not be used, if there is no load on the 5v, there is nothing stopping the fan from bringing the 5v rail up toward 12v
Yeah, many ways to skin a cat... no pun intended :D
something with similar cfm/mmhg would be best (rpm is irrelevant)
but it doesnt really matter for the psu fan
if its plugged into the psus fan header, it will control its speed depending on its temp
molex would just be at full speed all of the time, but still work fine and keep it cool
this is the cheapest 120mm case fan on amazon with fan header and molex connectors
20db will be quiet even with 12v and on all of the time

or just use whatever case fan you have available, ti will work
the fan in question is advertised as 1500RPM and 50CFM but in reality is 1310RPM and 38CFM
