I wouldn't recommend over powering the victors, they are expensive stuff and I don't believe you can change it around. As you will see IFI has higher voltage PWMs running with only 24 volt (even 12 volt) fans, does that change what they are rated for? No.

Don't worry there are other solutions though, did you guys know that IFI makes stuff for a business and not just for FIRST?

Yes it's true! And they have Higher Voltage PWM's!!!
Victor 883 (6-30 rated 24 Volt recommended)
Victor 885 (6-30 rated 24 Volt recommended)
Victor 36HV (12-42 rated 36 Volt recommended)
Victor 48HV (12-60 rated 48 Volt recommended)

All the fans for the victors are available in 12 or 24 volt models, if your voltage is greater than 15 volts, I recommend bumping it up to a 24 volt model.
