Yes, you could do that, either through MSI Afterburner or maybe your BIOS. I don't believe there would be a problem, aside from the noise obviously.

However, I wouldn't do this for a simple reason: The fans should be set to raise and lower speed as needed. If the fan is running at a certain speed, it means the temps are under control and there is no need for it to be kicked up a notch.

Should be fine but it reduces the life expectancy of the fan. Not a big deal as no one is planning on keeping their card for over 5 years anyways. You are most likely to upgrade it before than
