I have the following rubber pins with my new case fan:

enter image description here

I'm not sure how to install these. They are obvious to install into the case, the rubber pulls easily into the screw hole and stays in place, however the fan they came with they do not seem to fit in the screw holes at all. I put the thin side into the fan and pulled so hard that it actually snapped the rubber, so obviously that is not the correct method.

How do you install these rubber pins into stubborn fans of which they were designed for?

Speed Fan - low fan speed can burn cpu ?

as seen on Super User - Search for 'Super User'
As i can see, with this software you can set the fan speed. So, if you set it to low, theCPU temperature will grow really high and it can burn in likely 1 hour - is this possible or not and why ? Thanks. >>> More
