Card: Sapphire r7 260x 2gb DDR5 DVIX2 OC version

My Gpu fan is not working properly sometimes. When i turn on the pc is not spinning at all unless i open a game which requires lot of graphics it spins a lot and make a loud sound. Or either when i try turned on from speedfan or another fan software it does . I have to turn on the pc with stock fan behind the GPU so my pc cant be shutdown. Can this affect my whole pc???..

What might be the problem? , fan replacement? If the fan needs to be replaced, what technical details do I need to buy a new fan for my card?

Thats radeon cards, they factory preset to power effeciency. When you are using your computer normally they dont spin when gaming they do. I have the Radeon r7 370 Strix and it does the same for me.
