Save those noisy fans! | How to Clean and Service PC Fans

In this video I show you my method for cleaning up and lubricating fans so hopefully they're quieter.

my son. i was about to toss out a fan that was not spinning smoothly but like it was jerking. figured if i am going to toss it anyways why not take it apart. watched your vid, and remembered i had some silicone oil for the treadmill, put a drop in the bearing smooth as can be. lowkey kinda want to lube all my fans now as they are all the same age. Awesome thanks a bunch for the inspiration.

I remember you said ages ago you were going to do this so thanks for it. Thanks for going into such an amount of detail on it. I'll deffo do this on old fans now. Looks like the spindle can go in the sink for a right proper wash too. While the rest soaks in contact cleaner!

What im wondering is.. why is the bearing on the small just as large as the big fan? design fail..
