Case Fan - Noise on Startup

DocRichtofen · Nov 2, 2014

Heya folks, I came here to ask on how I can solve this issue that I have with my PC. Its a pretty common issue and I'm sure there are many solutions so here we go;

I've bought my new PC recently (in July 2014), and since around September my PC has been making this strange noise on start up which would last for about 5 minutes and then it would stop. I looked inside my PC whilst this was happening and realized it is the Case Fan. So I decided to clean the Case Fan, by taking it off the case and cleaning it. It didn't do anything, any other solutions?

DocRichtofen :

How many pins does the fan (3 0r 4) have and to what is it connected. PSU.Mobo? I assume it is a stock fan. Does the place
you bought it at have tech or Rma support? You may just want to replace it.

Hello... it could need a drop Oil, between the shaft and bearing... can you see a opening to it, and use like a drop on a tooth pick to apply it? Sometimes you have to take a label off to get to the shaft bearing... Other wise a replacement will be needed... and maybe RMA it to the seller.

Well to answer the questions;

It is a 4 Pin, Stock Case Fan that I got from cyberpower.net when purchasing my PC. I could perhaps try putting oil on it, but as tea urchin suggests, it is not worth messing around when I can get a new one for £4.

I'll get a new Case Fan ASAP.
