game-lover · Mar 3, 2014

it will still spin if thats what you are asking. it is no real threat right now. in the future it may cause issues.

Get a new fan, it will be out of balance and probably be very noisy.

Ponyface · Mar 3, 2014

it will cause vibration, due to being slightly out of balance, perhaps causing the heatsink to not cool as effectively

it's now mechanically unbalanced. i'd get a new one if it was me. it will probably get damaged if you use it, vibrations and all

but neither it is vibrating nor it is making much noise so what should i do?BTW it is not the fan of PSU or processor it is back fan of cpu

game-lover :

You have your terms mixed up. CPU = Central Processing Unit = Processor.

Do you mean the exhaust fan on the case? If so, you can probably leave it, but I would replace it.

just remove that fan and buy a new one if you want

i am talking about like this fan on back of the CPU whose color is white and the blades are brown :

Thats just a case fan, not CPU fan. The CPU is the processor not the case.

Ignore it unless temperature or noise rise, if they do replace it.

the noctua? maybe just check that none of the rest are damaged. if they are ok, i think it should be fine.
