Cooling a RAID card with a small noctua fan (lemmy.world)

Hi everyone,

I have a DL380 G8 server with a pretty hot raid controller, which crank the fans up in the server;

I would like to add a small 40x10 noctua fan on top of its heatsink but I don't know how can I power the fan in such a server.. I thought about USB to PWM connectors but it doesn't feel right...

There are 10pins connector inside the server, but buying a 10 pin to molex then molex to pwm feels weird too... maybe

Did any of you did something similar ? What are your idea to power the fan ?

Thank you!
