RockPro64 Fan Pins

I've found that the 12V PWM fan header doesn't work for the fan I have, and any pwm setting in the hwmon other than >240 causes a rattling noise that won't work. I'm thinking about getting a Noctua 5V fan to run off the GPIO headers, but I have to work out how to set up the connectors. With a NAS with 2 3.5" HDDs, I need some cooling, but not a whole lot.

Does anyone know who sells a pin adapter for the 12V header?

Can anyone share their fan setups other than the Pine64 store fan?

Probably not what you are looking for but maybe a possibility. I have pine64 nas case with 2 3.5 inch wd red drives and had similar problem at the start. First i thought to use fan header on the board but to control it using cpu temperatures wouldn't be ideal nor did i know how to set it up, it is probably best to control it using hard drive temps.
I had spare zalman fanmate fan controllers laying around http://www.zalman.com/contents/products/...tml?no=504, they take 5 or 12 volt feed and output it to 5-11v 6W, so i removed shielding from sata power cable pair closer to the board (before there is something that converts 12volt to 5 volt for hard drives) not sure if it is important but i used the same pair as it goes to single hard drive. I routed fan controller outside the case and glued it at the back of the case. Attached image doesn't show the fan controller but gives you a brief.
