Depends on the power draw of the new fan. If its low and the board can handle it then piggy back of a fan that runs when you want the new one
to run.
I took a feed from the power supply on my CTC printer and added a DC-DC voltage dropper, you can get these with variable control with a knob.
Very cheap on ebay.
I can switch the fan on independantly of any other fan and can vary its speed to barely turning to blowing the part off the build plate. (Slight
exageration maybe) :) But its adjustable.
Look for DC-DC converter on ebay or buck converter / voltage dropper.
