well here are 2 i here my computer grinding making a horible noise and also how can i tweak fans i don't really mind noise but not noise that sounds like things aren't working right

[Livy]

u can oil the fans by taking the small sticker of the fan, and put a drop of veg oil in it. only a little, this should lube it.

huh? it sure seems a lot of people on this forum can't express themselves clearly.
take a minute to read what you've typed before posting.

if it's a fan making a grinding noise just replace it. they are cheap...

slowing down fan speed will quiet things a bit. but, be sure to monitor your CPU temperature.

DO NOT use vegetable oil on your fan.

Unless you are planning on eating it...

yeah, you can connect the fans to a lower voltage, making them slower, theres a 5v line, and also a 7v i think maybe/

edit: if it is your hdd i would be worried if i were you.

its nothing to do with your mobo, it your psu, and all psu have the same voltage lines,
