If you wanta quick and dirty way to reduce the voltage to the fan by a little (1 or 2 volts), then two or three diodes in series of the fan power lead will work. Each diode drops about 0.7v. Fans don't take much current, so standard RadioShack 1A diodes would do. That'll take the 14.4v down to 12 effectively.
