your top fan’s axle became detached, cheap fans can do that sometimes with vibrations, especially if the vibrations are caused by a dying bearing

That fan is tired of how you treat him. He decided to commit seppuku

I guess you used a vertical mount fan in a horizontal position

It probably got detached in the midst of operating, fell off and the force helped it bounce until it landed on top of the gpu.
The good news is you don’t need to search for it

It’s desperately clinging to life, using the only form of movement it has available to escape that dusty hellscape…

sleeve bearing fan, it doesn’t like horizontal mount position

Fan blade is held in place by a retaining ring. Under the sticker, on the cross section side.
What happened is, over time, under fan blade weight and back air pressure, that ring, made of plastic or nylon, just gets eaten out by a fan shaft, which is metal.
It has nothing to do with dust. It is a faulty design, basically.
Consider a reverse blade fan for this position, since its cross-section will be on the bottom, supporting the fan blade. Ball-bearing fan is another option, since their construction is more robust. Also, there are fans with supporting magnets, but they are rare to find.

Fans don’t last for ever, depending on the bearing type brands are using for the fans. There are a few types of bearings:

Fans don’t last for ever, depending on the bearing type brands are using for the fans. There are a few types of bearings:
**Sleeve bearing types**
* sleeve bearing
* hydraulic bearing
* fluid dynamic bearing (FDB bearing)
**Ball bearings types**
* single ball bearing
* dubble ball bearing
Some of those types cost more to make, but are more silent or last longer because less prone to dust. So always check the specifications on the websites or package of the fans.
