My Problem
The bearing in the fan was stuck, hence the replacement.
My Fix
With the guide it was quite easy. Lots of screws but no major problem points.
My Advice
I still don't know what that fan is for: gpu or cpu. After the replacement, the air flow probably is fine, but it seems the gpu got a knack before already, so the replacement is kinda useless.
