You will most likely fry the fan control circuit.

Make sure the combined current draw of the new fans is the same OR LESS than the draw of the original triple fan unit. I fried a ZX fan control with a fan rated for only slightly more current than stock. I am guessing all the PG fan control circuits are built to the minimums.

nice one 8) i have 3 ms2250's and 2 fans so only 2 amps will control them, one will be hooked up to the amp powering sub so this one should kick in before the one not controlling a fan gets anywhere near hot (if that makes sense :D ).

the fan boards have variable output if i'm not mistaken?
