More Information

Hi I am running a Winfaxt px6800 GT, and the fan is starting to make a huge noise. I want to try oil it to see if it will help, the problem is the only way I can see that I can remove the fan is to remove the whole heatsink first.

Can anyone give me any advice on this topic?
Thanks.

if you d'ont want to dismount it,
then spray it generously with dielectric silicone(available in most hardware
or autoparts shop)

It will lube the fan and hopefully lower the noise.
