Ok.. So you tried the 7v trick I see.. Not enough air flow that way.. Do you think 10v would do it? Doesn't involve buying any parts or building anything to get 10v.. The blue wire on the ATX connector going to your motherboard is the -5v line.. Use that for your fan's negative, and the standard red line from the power supply, which is 5v, run that to your fan's positive.. That will give you 10 volts..

You could also get 8.3v if you want.. -5v for the negative, and orange 3.3v line for the positive..

Hope that tip can save ya a buck or two.
