Broken gpu fans?

My month old msi ventus x2 started making like a grinding/cracking noise when spinning above 60% fanspeed so i took the fans off to investigate which one was making the noise. I was spinning the fans by hand and suddenly the problem got 100x worse. Is spinning the fans by hand bad for them? Will the retail shop believe my story and send me a new card for the broken one?

Just say the rattling started and RMA the card. End of story. No more information is necessary.
