hmm - if you mean one of these:

then it appears to be a PWM unit (which pulses a 12V supply rather than reducing the voltage) - if so then starting voltage won't be an issue, but some fans are noisy under PWM..... so it'd be a good idea to look for peoples experiences of running the fan(s) this way....
