it worked @ about 10v. for 3 months.
After I turned it down to 7 volt,
it stalled after a couple of hours...
What can be wrong with it?

turn the voltage back up of course!
It won't do anything anymore

What's the question?
It's not able to run at 7V, needs higher.
Doesn't it have a speed-controller?
Some fans (I don't know about that one) have an internal voltage
regulator... it's set and variable by external POT, but if the input
voltage drops below the regulator's set output, (or actually, even
over that voltage, there is a Vdrop inherant to it) the fan will stop.
The curious part is that the fan starts and THEN stops, later. Is it
possible your power supply is slightly dropping the 12V rail for
whatever reason? How are you obtaining the "7V" reading?
The fan was installed correctly, and worked correctly for a couple
of weeks, since temperatures were OK, I turned it down to lower
RPM, with the attached potmeter, and then it stopped, and just
wiggles a bit. I didn't obtain the voltages, I estimated it from the
way I turned down the potmeter. Better to say it ran @ 75% for
3 weeks, and it stalled @ 40 % of the max setting
It seems like its stuk between the north and south poles of the magnets.
It turns freely, but no electric power is able to pull it trough the
resistance of the magnets.
I've made a small video of the fan, a 5.8 Mb avi, in a zipfile

hope this sheds some light on the problem.
