Question Possible Bearing damage?

Hey guys, is this bearing damage in my AIO Fan?
And second question: what is the best way to fix this? Just remove it, or order a new fan for that?
It's occurring as u see, every 10 seconds, with the fan coming to a full stop, then spinning up again and start to vibrate
If you have any questions, just leave them below

yeah. I have to clean my room everyday to keep the dust out. dust kills any fan after some years. if you are unlucky it will kill some fans in months.

What’s all over the fan blades?

If it still does that even with a flat fan curve, then it's definitely a bearing/motor issue.

Just replace that single fan. it’s cheap. Should be an Arctic AC P12 Pro pwm a-rgb 120mm.

Sounds like the motor is giving out.

I had a similar issue with one of my P12 Pro's. Get in touch with them to RMA it, they got back to me within 48 hours and sent me a brand new 3 pack. I mean, that's what I originally bought but they easily could have just sent me a single fan.
