Story: Fix noisy computer fans with a drop of oil
GREAT ARTICLE!!! It worked for me :)
I had noise from the fan for almost a week, I opened the case and vacuumed the dust 2 days ago but the noise stayed the same.
I knew I had to buy a new fan, but I said I will try Google and see if anyone has an advice. I read the article and to be honest at first I was suspicious that Oil will solve the problem but I said I will give it a try the noise was extremely awful.
Anyway, the only oil I have is Olive oil but as I was desperate I tried it and it worked great. Now no more noise. The oil hungry fan was the video card’s, the smallest fan but sure made a lot of noise, size does not matter overall.
Thanks a lot for the great article, and please advice on the use of olive oil.
