You could force feed the fans 17-18v I forgot how much exactly but you just need to get your hands on a old AT power supply and so you wont have to worry about cooking your ATX. Get the AT and use a multimeter/voltmeter to poke around on the motherboard connectors and you should be able to find two wires that make 18v and just use that. I have found some psu's that dont like to have those connected so they spas out and tend to revert to a primitive state when you connected the two wires to any kind of load so that wont work for the given reason. Also some psu's need a load to work so all you have to do is hook up a old hdd or cd-rom drive.

I bet that you could have figured out how to give them extra volts by reading bigben2k's posts ahh oh well.
