  You could add PWM control to the existing fan it you are comfortable with a little re-wiring. https://github.com/agspoon/PiKVM-PWM-Fan

  I believe that GPIO 12 is also available for PWM. I've used it for a while now with no issues. https://github.com/agspoon/PiKVM-PWM-Fan

  Rereading the manual pwm control commands, I see that I omitted the command to enable it once you have set the period. [root@pikvm pwm0]# echo 1 > enable

  Peter, you didn't say, but the below assumes you are using an RPi4b. With the 4b, you only really have two choices as to which set of PWM outputs to use; GPIO 12&13 or  GPIO 18&19 (pi...

  Based on the schematics shown, I think the fan contoller you found would work.  It's a very similar design to the one I used (perhaps better). Connect the fan to JP2 pins 1 & 2 (minding t...
