One option here is to wire up the fans to run at 7V (connect negative to 5V line), or even 10V (by connecting to -5V and +5V).
But getting software control to bump that up to 12V when needed could take some extra steps/hardware. But if you use the system lightly enough, it’ll be cooler in its norma state and might not need the extra cooling oomph.
