Which suggests a defective socket, and the usual 'fix' of changing the spring clip for one from a grid pin makes sense.
But it might also be worth checking that the fan is going at full speed, and hasn't got dust or gooed up lubricant in the bearings, or the bearings are worn and the fan is running slow, reducing the airflow. If that's the case, then a new clip will go the same way.
