I wonder wheter is it harmful for a fan to stop it for a moment using a finger? Until yesterday I didn't know that it should be done only on the center of a fan and I have stopped my 1300RPM fans in my new PC by gently putting a fingers in fan blades... Fans have stopped without a problem and I didn't broke any of blades, but now I have noticed some strange (very silent buzz) noise coming from my VGA fans. Probably, it was present before and I just didn't noticed that, but I'm not 100% sure and I want to know wheter I could break something without breaking blades.
