My cpu fan is vibrating and making loud sound. I try to push it or something , the sound goes a bit down but it still vibrates. My fan acidently fell in to the cpu fan (dont ask how) and some of the cpu fanblades broke. I am going to buy a new fan but i need to know why it is vibrating so bad. Could the "engine" of the fan brake or something? Any ideas?

CPU: AMD FX 8350 | GPU: AMD R9 270 Windforce | MOBO: ASRock 990FX Extreme 3 | RAM: Kingston HyperX 8GB | Case: X Predator X1 |CPU COOLER: Hyper T4

NAZIS WILL RISE.

Damaged fan blades can ruin the balance and make it wobble.

I wouldn't recommend using tape. It's not rigid enough and precision is key.  I'd recommend replacing the fan or cooler altogether. The stock cooler would do if you still have it.
