it was working fine and i was playing game for 7/8 hours and after i finished playing i just opened speccy and there i found my cpu temp is above 90 c and no mentioning of the cpu fan. so i looked at the casing and saw it isnt spinning. so i shut down my pc and unplugged the fan from cpu and cleaned it gently with dry clothes and a turbo fan. i cleaned it thoroughly and reinstalled it but no change. when the pc starts it just moves 0.1 inch and thats all. then i even tried 2 drops of machine oil into its bearing but still the same. when the pc is running i tried spinning the fan(plugged) by finger and i felt a lot of tension there. i mean its really harder to move it there. not to mention i obviously tried placing its header on the system fan header, my mb doesnt have extra cpu fan header.
i just want to be sure if i am gonna need to change the cooler. or if it can be the psu or nothing at all. i didnt make any changes to bios settings ever but i entered bios now and saw the settings of the system fan active and speed set to normal. i dont have any other cpu cooling fan or a different motherboard to check with.
so is there any tools or methods to diagnose the cpu fan??
