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.Quote:

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.
yea i was scared to do this when i first did it...Quote:

Unless you are planning on eating it...

its a grinding noise i don't know much, its a sound not a fan a grinding noise hd maybe? memory? processor? i dunno but my other question i meant can i controll the fan speed, make it spin faster or slower
yeah, you can connect the fans to a lower voltage, making them slower, theres a 5v line, and also a 7v i think maybe/Quote:
