is it just the rotating part that wobbles or is the fan frame loose against your cooler aswell?

that probably means either your bearing inside is broken or the fanblades themselves are not fastened against the shaft properly. 

if you pull on the hub part of the fanblades, does it come loose easily?

[Robby3D]

Yes

How do I tell if the bearing broke

if the bearing inside is broken the shaft should feel loose and when you rotate it it shouldn't feel smooth. sometimes it also makes a grinding noise when you power it on.

[Robby3D]

i think it would be much easier to see what's going on if you take the fan out of your pc. 

i can't really see anything from these pics, sorry.

[Robby3D]

Ok but I think I don’t have the tools

[Robby3D]

[Robby3D]

I think that’s the bearings

[RollinLower]

looks to me like there's something missing right there.

[Robby3D]

Oh what is missing

well, i really cannot be sure unless you get it out of the case, but i think it might be wise to replace it anyway. 

even if you take it out, repairing it properly without imbalancing the rotor is pretty difficult, and if you repair it with an imbalance, it will start vibrating and eventually break again.

Dang ok than I’m going look for a sample way to Rome the fan and the sewers is facing inside so I will like have take aport my pc

[Robby3D]

Should I just leave it be or should I take it apart
