Question

My fan makes a lot of noise. Any ideas?

Answer

Hey Collins,

You may want to try to clean out your computer case. There is a guide on this site on how to do that correctly. If you are still having the problem, you can try a common 3-in-1 household oil to oil the fan that is causing trouble. Do NOT use WD-40 for this job. To do this, you should remove the fan from the case, peel the sticker back that is on the fan, pop off the rubber cap, and then put a single drop of oil in the lubrication well.
