Fan trouble shooting(the safer way)

While, I think I have a fan about to die so I wanted a way to test it. Hmm, stick a start in to temporarily stop the balde, problem no straws and a hot CPU. Solution: shut pc off. Pull other AT syle PC over. Take one of my 4-3pin adapters and pulg it into the AT PSU and test them individually. I found out my CPU fan is in fact vibrating my hole case as it is running at 5000+ RPM, cheap Thermal Take Orb! Cr@py mounting job!(oops, thats my fualt?)

Grab each fan rotor and see if its loose or fits the bearing sloppily.
If its loose its gonna leave you high and dry.
You may try to find some thin sheet rubber or some such to cut grommets out of to mount the fan, makeing it nice and quiet...
