That small plastic piece being broken would not make rpm sensor go insane.

it got chip used to connected to card, maybe it loosen (because of broken) so maybe the chip malfunction?

Ok. I see.
If fan is not being properly connected anymore, then that's a problem.

Use a small drop of glue (on plastic shroud), so fan is properly seated in and doesn't come out of the socket.
You'll probably want to replace the fan later. So don't use excessive amounts of glue.
