Stack solder a 100K resistor on top of the existing component at the indicated position to reduce the under-voltage threshold, making it compatible with a voltage range of 12-19V.
No need to remove the component.
This will lower the fan power supply to 11V, slightly reducing the fan speed at full load. There are no other negative effects, and it can slightly reduce VRM heat generation.
