Never heard that one.
The fan can't run any faster than full speed.
Never heard of full speed hurting an electric motor.
They are designed to do full speed.

A speed control can only slow a motor from it's full speed.

Reference cards always run hot

I think I already said no.

The speed slow down is to protect your ears, not the fan.
