It's fine. The magnetic force is no more than what my Craftsman screwdriver produces and I have put that near boards and HDDs for years. For any piece of a PC to be damaged by a magnet it has to be pretty strong and at that I think only a HDD can be damaged.

I think it was a very nice idea. A simple and silent mounting technique. I was surprised nobody had thought of it earlier.

Guys on TPU linked to some that were made years ago. Just no PR on those.

well they did thought of the design and mounting technique which produced the rubber fan mounts.

but I guess it's only now that they use metal and magnets along with the design :)

I'd rather have secure. Movement can still occur.

I still prefer screws though with rubber fan fittings.. I mean, it's not really hard to remove screws..

Use the screws if the fans aren't that noisey. The magnetic pins if you really want a silent system :)

it's a really simple idea...so strange none tought of it before! lol! Anyway I have 4 magnetic pins...won in their contest...and I used them with a side fan...but I see no real use....maybe when I open the chassis I can detach the whole fan and not the wires :p
