I'm running a Shicoh fan at 7v in my Cube, have been for almost 2 
years. Current config: 500mHz CPU (original), 1GB RAM, 100GB WD SE 
drive, Airport, Radeon 7500 (without bottom fence). I have also run it 
with a GF3 instead of the Radeon. I ran it for about 3 weeks with a PL 
800mHz G4 upgrade and the GF3 with the same fan running at 7v without 
any problems. Even when playing extended bouts of UT2003.

YMMV.
