think it's more like LEDs, it does run on a higher voltage, but dies faster
so if your like me, have tons of fans sitting around, then do it
make sure you use a fan guard, if the blade comes off.........

How is it that you Overvolt fans? I havn't found any proper guides through google yet (Which is shocking, Because "If you can't Google it, It doesn't exist").
