Early this week I was encoding some video which caused the fans to speed up and I noticed the right fan was making a slight "ticking" sound. The next day or so the noise went away and I even installed smcFanControl so I could experiment with the fan speeds but the noise wouldn't come back.
Now today I notice that the right fan is sitting at 0 RPMs. Does this mean the fan just died or could my fiddling with the fan speeds caused some sort of software problem that's preventing it from coming on?
Considering the noise it was making earlier, I half expected it to go out eventually but not so suddenly.
