Wouldn't work anyway. The fans draw air through the coolers (e.g. radiator and oil cooler), which in-turn cool the fluids that move through them and back into the engine. Without the engine turning and circulating fluids, even if the fans were running, you would just be cooling the stagnant fluid stuck in the coolers. You may get some movement of water due to the pressure increase from the high heat, but the oil won't move (other than draining down to the pan). The spike in temperature comes from the fluids sitting in the hot block getting superheated because they are not being circulated. Also why the situation quickly goes away. This is why turbo timers keep the engine going rather than just the fans going.
