Gotcha, well I will be using a Nexus fan controller for these so I will probably just buy 3 of them for $33 shipped as that is a price I think I can afford to lose in case they suck. I think the risk is worth the potential gain, unless you guys see any other inherent problem with the fan other than what BillA pointed out about the Voltage.
