[toretto]

old idea, but i have to personally say that it is really dumb

 

[dreamliner77]

It's not really dumb, it is one of many ways to slow fans. Another is to use a resistor to lower voltage, or an overpriced fan controller, or SpeedFan, ad naseum...

Cant see anything wrong with that!
If you really wanted you could add a switch with a number of contacts to switch between the voltages i guess?
