Was it always doing this, or has it just started? Have you recently updated your BIOS?

If it was fine, and you haven't played with fan settings or updated your BIOS, I'd say the motor's stuffed.

TBH I'm not sure if you'll find a suitable fan repleacement for the freezer 7, AC tend to use propriatory mounts.

Time for a new cooler?

Could i put my stock one on for the time being or it this cooler better even with no fan ?

the temps i am getting are around 33 with no fan spinning ?

The fan may be locked/stuck try moving it gently with your hand!
