CPU Fan stopped spinning

Yeah so I looked in to my computer yesterday (which I rarely do) and noticed my Freezer 13 Pro cooler by arctic cooling had stopped spinning.

 

Luckily I have only been playing CSGO recently and temps have remained manageable but they aren't ideal.

 

All the connectors are still plugged in and I am looking for a replacement cooler.

 

I have a sharkoon T28 so I only have a room for a H80i at a maximum but I don't think it would be a good decision as my 680 would probably overheat. 
I am looking at buying something like a hyper 212 but I haven't looked at coolers in a few years so I am not really in the loop.

 

Any recommendations??

 

Thanks

You can also just buy a new fan and replace the broken one with it. Way cheaper!

Just buy a new fan or use a spare casefan.

Also using a H80i will not let your 680 overheat that's the biggest bull Sh*t I' ve ever heard

Also a Hyper 212 is a good cpu cooler for must users.

If I get a h80i I will have no exhaust fans.

Your h80i will be exhausting... (depending on the way you configure it.)
