The electronics inside of the power supply will overheat and cause the power supply to quit working. There might even be a small fire inside, or the semiconductors may crack or explode. So it is best to repair or replace the power supply when the fan starts to malfunction, since it will be easier to fix. If you must operate it that way, you should take steps to reduce power consumption and make sure the fan is running each time. Some even insert things in there to start the fan if it is stalled, though that has its risks.
