Ok. I never gave much thought to the magnets in fan motors before. Working on the bench I picked up a Noctua fan and a case screw was stuck to it. So I wondered if other fans I had laying around were like that.
Nope, just the Noctua, I made a short clip thought you guys might get a kick out of it.

Re: Fan magnets
That would be because one is an electromagnitic fan and the other is not... correct?
Re: Fan magnets
Even with the fans powered up they are nothing like the Noctua fan.

Re: Fan magnets
Under the sticker of the other fans, can you feel a pin that would allow you to undo the drive shaft and remove the blades from the fan assembly?
The Noctua's don't have that, so it could be why there is a magnet there where there isn't on the others.
