Kind of an external fan control is what I am looking for.
I want the fan on my cpu cooler to stop completely, because the idle power draw (<3W) is such that the Al heatsink can dissipate the heat without any help. And for that I am looking for a small board or adapter to go between the 4-pin PWM header on the mainboard and fan, perhaps with USB, to turn off the fan. Either controlled by a thermistor or signal by aforementioned USB. (With or without then faking the rpm reading.)

- Does something like this exist for SFF to your knowledge?
I know external fan controls, such as from NZXT can do this for I did have one. - If not, anyone fancy to make a batch?
