i know nothing about pcs and repairing nor handling any of that stuff, are you saying i need to get a new fan? or can something else be done?

If the bearings are shot, you need to get a new fan.

Usually there is no "fixing" that.
You should be able to measure it....and find a replacement.

Take your time and be careful....and see if you can follow the fan cable to a plug.

there is two cables coming out of the fan, one of which isnt connected to anything and the other one i found where it is connected.,
also should i get the same one or another one? this one was BITFENIX Spectre RGB, 120mm

It's an RGB fan....which is why there's a second cable....but you don't need to connect it.

You can actually get an exact replacement on Amazon if you can get Amazon.
