That's why you go to a sink and blow out the dust, I even removed the entire cooling device in a laptop just to blow out all the dust

Sounds like it may be a bit off-balance. That could be caused by something stuck to a vane, external damage or bearing wear. Make sure all of the vanes are clean for one. If bearings are worn or a vane damaged then the fan will need to be replaced. I'd recommend having another one on hand just in case.

i blew some air on the fans then hoovered the dust out, and everything seems fine now. It's so quiet that sometimes i can't tell if its on or off without the light.
