I have run both 5v and 12v. Some fans are definitely better than others... some are duds and some work great.

I have always run 12v fans on whatever the pack is. So a 4s lipo would really make a 12v fan boogey I would think.

On 5s or 6s lipo, you will boogy the blades right off of the fan.:005:

Not to mention the fan motor will burn up in no time. On 5V off the BEC you can run whatever battery you want and it doesn't matter.

12V fans are fine if you are running only 12 cells.
