Can CPU fan cut your finger?
Not much. CPU fans aren’t particularly strong. The blades are very light weight and they spin at a relatively slow speed. If you accidentally (or not) touch them, it might hurt a little or not at all.
Can you straighten CPU pins?
If the pin seems reasonably straight, you can attempt to remount the CPU. If the pin still needs straightening, try the credit card or mechanical pencil now that you can get underneath it. You can also continue to manipulate the pins with needle to try to get them straighter.
What are the signs of a dead CPU?
6 Signs of CPU Failure | CPU (Processor) Failure Symptoms

- Physical Damages.

Nah – no damage done. At least you found the cause. Don’t let that cpu fan die on you – replace it asap – if necessary rob a case fan until you get a new one. Zip tie or rubber band it on.
What would happen if you touched a fan?
Even at slow speeds, fans pose an amputation risk. That is, if your finger touches a spinning fan blade, the blade may have sufficient force to sever your finger. Likewise, if a spinning fan blade collides with your head, you may suffer a concussion or another type of traumatic brain injury.
How fragile are CPU pins?
The pins are extremely maluable, so they are easy to bend (and break). But if you didnt bend them you can use it as is. If they are bent, you can look up how to bend them back.
How do CPU pins get bent?
The most common way they are bent happens when installing the cpu in the socket. To check them grab a magnifying glass and a good light source (desk lamp) and check them over. Move the light source around as you inspect them.
How do you know if your CPU is fried?

How do I know if my CPU needs to be replaced?
The bottom of the CPU is flat, with little contact pads. If you drag something across the pins in an LGA (intel made) type socket, hard enough to bend one, you may need a new motherboard unless you can bend it back. Same goes for AMD CPUs. However, if they don’t get bent, just wash it off with a little alcohol, and let it evaporate.
