Wait, you do not need to physically connect a monitor to card to set the fan speeds! You can simply tell the driver a monitor is connected even when one isn't. This is most easily accomplished with the --connected-monitor switch for nvidia-xconfig. There are also some other xconfig settings that are needed that you likely aren't setting, so double-check your xconfig against these commands:
Code:
nvidia-xconfig -s -a --force-generate --allow-empty-initial-configuration \
--cool-bits=12 --registry-dwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222" \
--no-sli --connected-monitor="DFP-0" -o /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sed -i '/Driver/a Option "Interactive" "False"' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
