No Problem. Not too sure you would be able to if you wanted to except perhaps if it was a cheaper unit and you left it running full all the time. The max RPM of the fan should match the top limit of the fan controller. If you really want to make sure you don't burn the fan unit then just get a smart fan that has a speed dial that hooks up to the PCI slot at the rear of the case. I have two of them along with five others in the case including a new vantec double fan unit on my GPU.
