Hey guys!

Had my PC since January this year and had no issues at all until yesterday.
I turned the PC off like normal, turned it off at the mains after too.
Went to go downstairs and heard a *Clunk* noise, did not know what it was so thought nothing of it.
Came back up a few hours later, turned the PC back on to hear this like vibrating/scraping/lawnmower noise coming from my PC, the noise stopped after the "Fan Stop" light came on on the side so i turned it off, tried again, same noise. Did the same thing a few times to see if it went away (it did not).
While the PC was turned off with no power i took the side panel off to have a closer look. span the 3 fans gently on the GPU to see if they were ok and one of the 3 fans is no longer flush to the GPU, it's like it's come slightly off the spindle and if i push the fan up slightly it goes up and in where the other 2 are fine.
Since then there's been no noise but my PC is a tad louder (when gaming) than it used to be.
Is this something i should be worried about?

Any help would be much appreciated!
