I've never seen one fail at 7v, but you may not get the cooling you want.
You could always put a two-way switch somewhere in the return line from the fan.
Connect the red fan wire to +12v(yellow) as before.
Connect the fan return (black) to the switch common side, connect the other two switch terminals to ground (black) and +5v (Red). The switch then changes operation from 12v to 7v. Switch up to 12v when you are playing games, drop to 7v at times when your GPU is not used much.
actually, i think its a good idea....... when playing games you prolly have the sound on high, so you dont hear the fans...... but when you dont play, you do hear it......
