Question Probably a silly question, but can the case fans damage the GPU if they are right below it and blowing on the GPU fans when it's in idle mode?

I mean, won't the air flow from these fans start spinning up the fans on the GPU, which in my opinion is not a good thing.
 
Fan motors have magnets in them. When the motor's stopped, the magnets essentially lock the motor in place until enough electromagnetic force is applied to start pushing them. Unless you're blowing really hard into the fans, air flow is generally not enough to overcome this.
