you can get these (Volcano 11 and others) that use a temperature probe 
under the processor to
trip the fan speed, I had never heard of one that got a variable voltage 
directly
off of the board via CPUFAN1 plug these fans still need a connection off 
the IDE power feed
as they suggest the power drain off the board may be too high
