If you have a computer case fan or laptop fan that is making noise and you want to repair it, then this video is for you. When fans get dirty and dusty, they don't work properly and they need to be clean or replaced. Why is my laptop fan so loud? A loud Laptop fan can be a sign of a future overheating problem if not cleaned. Dust build up can be a big problem and the fan will need to be cleaned and oiled or replaced.

The most creative outro screen but as a comment.
oil worked for me, but only for a few months. After that noise comes again.
Now I took apart the same fan, take out blades and not oiled but lubricate motor axle. Fan works again so silent that i thought its not working at all. Now im waiting while noise will come again.
Brian, the clarity of the audio on this video is superb, but the last couple of months worth of videos sounds muffled by comparison. So what have you changed audio-wise since this video ?

My PC: **JET ENGINE NOISES**
Add Shaders and a intensive resource pack to it.
Mmm that’s crispy
Same, it's clean and it cools my hardware really well. Although I think the fan is from a Boeing
Fax
If you think about it it shouldn’t be that hard to run
V M new problem created
"Now Dont use WD-40" Me puts down the WD-40 Can
Same here
can u not use that ?
@@djouya WD40 isn't oil, it's rust remover and it can do some nasty damage to stuff that's not designed to handle it.
WD-40 is not a lubricant, but everyone thinks it is....lol idk why
@@ccplacrosse11 some neighborhood dad somewhere is responsible for this
My fan stopped being noisy while I was watching this video... maybe he heard that I was going to perform a surgery on him
Edit: thx for the likes
same here
lmao same
I just bought a $1 noisy fan. Time to do a surgery!
holy shit my fan did too
Mine too tbh
THIS VIDEO HELPED ME SO MUCH. I put a single drop of hair oil and my fan that once sounded like a fighter plane is now silent than ever. Thank you.
3 in one never leave home without it, great video Bri.
Cheers Daz
My Amp fan was rattling away like a blender on steroids. Stopped the video to take it apart and now it has a soothing hum like a newly hatched Robin with Stoner hippy parents. Thanks for the great video and subscribed.
TIP:
If the fans have recessed shaft like that one in the video you can place your thumb on top of it, creating an air chamber, if you push down with your thumb, the air will push the oil further inside
Worked as advertised. I forgot how quite my computer could be. Thank you.
"Why dont you just buy a new fan?" - because one shall not replace what can be fixed fellas ;)
*edit: spelling
Like saying "buy new tires when the pressure gets low."
Makes me cringe when I watch fix it yourself videos and there’s some douche who says “just buy a new one” Why are they here if that’s how they think?
@DAnk bo0ui Why wouldn't it deflate if it was nitrogen? I'm interested, lol
My solution: blast music till you can’t hear it anymore.
To me, the unbearable loud music and screams from my neighbors is more than enough to drown out my noisy PC fan.
got some noise canceling headphones ^_-
😂😂😂😂
I turned my computer case on its side for a temp fix xD
My solution too!!
Ive seen videos here on RUclips using kitchen's oil "please don't use this kind of things" always use
A certificated oil for fans. Thanks for your new video.
Yeah 3 in 1 is the proper stuff to use.
Would love to hear a before and after with a bad fan in a review like this. I've got one that sounds like a bad bearing, so hopefully this works on it. Looks like the US has the same brand of oil. Naturally, we have a yellow bottle instead of white, but the design is mostly similar.
A worn out bearing will not fix itself with oil, it means the balls inside are worn out to the point the fan itself is capable of wobbling around the rotational point.
Thanks a lot for this, my fan was making a horrible sound off and on for a months and I was being too lazy to do anything about it, but then it wouldn't stop lol. I'm glad you mentioned not to use WD-40 because I was literally about to use that when you said don't use it lol.
I always learn some new things by watching your videos, Brian.
Thank you!!
You're welcome.
Such a descriptive video. So easy to understand! Thanks Brian!!!
Thank you. I was just about to replace my noisy radiator EK-Vardar 120mm Digital RGB fan. You Just saved me £20 and time.
Great tutorial !!!!
Only thing I had on me was beard oil...... I now have a perfect working fan and my hole house smells Manly 🤙🏼
This is a bruh moment
@@wowwow-xp9sk how
After shave ok?
win-win
@oPaper it is what it isssss
This video could be 1 minute long, but thank you anyway for the help. Will try it later today.
It didn't help me at all. My NXZT fans can't be opened like this ones, so I couldn't apply this fix. I only ended up destroying the stickers from one of my two fans but actually what helped me was to clean the dust from all the corners. Apparently, the weight from the dust made it spin uneven and created the noise. After cleaning them with a dry brush, reinstalling and testing them, they went back to be silent. Thanks to me, I guess. Lol.
Bought a 2,500 US dollar gaming computer with a noisy fan from new, it was kind of irritating, this video is good for fixing the problem.
Thank you! I didn't have to use any oil, only removing the dust made my laptop very silent! I was thinking about using WD40, thank you for mentioning that it's not a good idea. Al the best to you.
I am a fan of this video and will use it to maintain all my fans including my recently loud PSU fan after discharging the PSU. Safety first.
This is so enjoyable, thank you.
I've got a problem with the fan on my video card. I give it ago, well done Brian and keep up with good work.
Cheers Terry
Great informative video Brian....First time I've seen someone try to repair a fan. Thanks
Glad you enjoyed the video.
Done, grow light isn't buzzing like a beehive now, many thanks :)
Man you saved me! Thanks to this video I didn't have to buy a new fan! Thank you very much!
Thanks, Brian. I did not know about the back door :)
Glad you learned something.
A nice simple well explained how to video Brian. Thanks mate. Don PS. 3 in 1 oil has as you say been around years in the UK I remember it as a kid and I'm ** years old
Yeah its proper old school
Silence the Screaming of the Fans :O
Silence of the fans :P
MrZombie, like since mid-september to mid-january I was suffering from tinnitus(noises in my right ear), fortunately in January, I'm free of the tinnitus and now I have the Screaming of the Fans to deal with! ARGH! xP
Cleaning the filter on my case, while running (I’ll shut off next time) and reinstalling it, clumsily. Hit one of the moving fans, now I hear a tiny wobble/grind sound very very subtle, but can’t unhear it. Will try this out
2 month update: grinding sound is gone thanks to the oil, and has not returned! Interesting though, it didn’t completely go away immediately, it took a couple weeks, I guess the wobble corrected itself over time with less friction I don’t know
Fan was making noise like a jet engine, took it apart, greased it up but still didn't work. Accidently dopped it on my table and now it's working again. Now i am convinced my fan is a masochist and really liked that "gentle" hit.
Informative video Brian ... I'd put up with noisy fans since the mid 90's, fine when you buy them, but having to replace them every two or three years because of the inevitable buzzing that comes over time got annoying. Then in 2010 I came across an ideal solution, buy Noctua. I've had the same NF-P12's for going on 9 years, no buzzing no nothing, even undervolted they are amazing. Yes it cost me an arm and a leg when considering fan prices, but in 9 years they've paid for themselves easily, and I haven't had no pissing about having to change them or repair them. They have a MTBF rating of about 17 years, and it wouldn't surprise me if they went beyond that. I will admit though, when I bought them I had some buyers remorse, but it turns out there was no need.
Noctua fans are expensive, but well worth it in my opinion
The Noctua Redux (grey) fans are much better value
Ive had a noctura fail within 3 years. My oem zalman fans that came with the case are going strong except for the top one, which is why Im here. I built the rig in 2012, 11 years ago and havent had a problem until a couple weeks ago
Good tip Brian. I remember someone asking for this on the old discord server. Glad to see you said not to use WD40, worse thing to use
Yeah that can act like a de-greaser
I'll just reply to this anecdotally. I used WD 40 because it was all I had when I fixed my fan. Going on 1 year now no issues, fan noise fixed.
@@ccarter55589 Is that still the case? WD40 is pretty widely known to lubricate only temporarily. It collects dust and evaporates partially, while mixing with and dispersing any other present lubricant, meaning it actually increases friction if you dont regularly reapply it
Worked like a charm. Now lets see how long it will last.
Wow, i didn't know that this was this easy! Thank you so mutch
Thanks Brian. 3 In 1 works the best for me. Great Tip
Cheers Goerge
Thank you mate!
I did this with lubricating grease,
cuz i don't have oil at home and it worked!
Thanks, good information. I had a 2 inch fan on a power supply making noise. I was able to loosen the 2 mounting screws for it and it quit making noise. At least for now anyways.
Thank you Brian for another fix it video. Please keep them coming . Phil
Plenty more coming
Will try this with the fan in my PC, thanks man for the How to Fix it, greetings from Mexico! :)
I'm a fan of your videos now. Good videos !
Just did this on one of the fans on my 3D printer that was making a racket. Sound's like a new machine now! :)
You can definitely get it in the States as it was invented here in 1894. Just be sure to use the can/bottle with the Black label as that uses the better mineral oil. The Blue can/bottle uses some cheap, lower quality cooking oil.
Yeah, I remember my granddad and dad using it all the time.
I haven't had to lubricate a computer fan in years but it's still a great tip.
Me: Starts up on my Gtx 950 pc and 2008 fan Makes Jet noise for 2 seconds.
I tried a lubricat like you did, but the noise got louder, so I got an idea to try replacing the rolman bearing.
Guess what, its worked really fast and quite just like a new one.
You can just give it a try, and thanks for your ideas that led me to have that idea
Thankyou so much for making this video. It literally saved me a lot of money. I had quite a lot of fan havin the same problem. I've fixed em all!!!
Worked like a charm!
Thank you! Fixed my problem!
didnt look for this but glad i found this
I must try try this as mine doing the same thanks
Works a treat
Brilliant! Worked like a charm! Thank you for making this video.
My started working after watching 48 seconds of your video
Thank you very much Mann, it worked, I bought this fan for second time and I thought I'm seriously fuked up cuz the second one ran only for an year. Thank you very much
From my experience if a fan stars doing noises some oil will patch the problem but will never persist because the noise comes from wear that makes the fan spin wobbly.
So what should I do? Buy a new one?
@@KilluaXje yep
Finally my fan will stop playing the invisible jaw harp
Worked like a charm, went from jet engine to silence, thank you very much :D
thank you for this trick my friend! stay health and all the best for you!
This worked absoulutley perfect.
I'm in a desperate need for oil, my fighter plane is about to take off
You saved my sanity gave a thumbs up for that 😀
Love the new intro Brian.👌
Thanks
Thanks you so much it fixed my fan !
Great information Brian Thank You
You're welcome.
I would call it a "plug" vs "a grommet". I took a 120 apart last week, cleaned and lubed it with "Super Lube". Runs and spins better than when I used Wahl's Clipper oil the first time round.
DUDE IT WORKSSS MY GOD! I WAS PLANNING TO BUY NEW ONE BUT YOUBSAVE MY MONEY MAHBRO! THANK YOU!
Yo i love the new intro
Thanks
You are a genius. 😮
Handy tip!
Cheers Mike, probably see it on your channel tomorrow lol
@@Britec09 too late i did it ages ago :-) As if you didn't know 😍
Hi, I just removed those 2 stickers from my fan and there are any holes there, so I cannot remove the blades that way. Do you know how can I do it? I don't want to just full the blades with force because maybe I'd break it
Advertised as "The Tool Kit In A Can". Formulated in New Jersey in 1894. So yeah, you can get it in the states. :;)
Links in video description :)

I had a rattle in my fans, I turned the off one by one, but it wouldn't stop. I finally figured out that I need the outflow fans (only two) to be at a higher RPM that the intake fans (there are three). Once I slightly increased the RPMs the noise stopped.
I just got a new case with new fans (apart from the cpu fan) and I'm getting a buzzing from one of the brand new fans! It doesn't seem to be a cable brushing against the fan or anything... just a light buzzing, like a bumble bee! It comes and goes and if I knock the case it will go away. It is a very dusty environment but surely a week old fan wouldn't fail this early??? Edit: It was the CPU fan... it was caked with dust... got the compressed air out and gave it a good blast and its fine now!
Thanks Brian :-D
Ahh the old 3inOne, a product of the Wd40 company, both are handy :-D
A frends lappy had a slow fan, after i gave it a clean and relube it actually spun so fast when the machine was first turned on you could hear it.
That was two years ago and it's still good :-D
Yeah can beat a bit of re-lubing lol
No label, no hole. My CPU fan had neither. So I had to drill a hole to expose the shaft and then add oil. I then added my own cover to cover the hole. Back to being quiet, and the CPU idle temperature has also dropped due to the fan now also spinning a bit faster.
Was just considering trying this on one of my faulty sealed fans. Glad to hear it worked for you, think I'm gonna give it a shot.
Quite the accomplishment: you made a 7m46 vid of a 1 min (explanation incl.) process. :-D
I'll have to go to Home Depot tomorrow and get a can of 3 in 1. Walmart doesn't have it. Hell, the people working there had no idea what I was talking about!
Very helpfull, love your voice btw!
thanks for the video, can i use WD40 instead ?
20 quid is cheap for PC PARTS, But good point, thanks for the help
Worked for me. Thanks
Nice tip now my fans runs fine again.
My front case-fans are whining like a supercharger and sometimes when I hit the case it stops
Mine too
Me to
bro just tried it works like a charm
I don't find percussive maintenance useful on delicate stuff. ;)
just the video i was looking for😂
Thanks for watching.
Thank you very much man ❤
Thanks for the help used car oil
Nice tips.
Can you recommend a decent paint for server case's.
Reason for question: I had an ediot moment knocked coffee cup, and quickly wiped.But over time noticed greying of server lid
I know this is a really dumb question, but could I use alternative oils like vaseline? >.>
ln a pinch yes you can however you would have to make sure that you remove any washers/seals and apply the compound directly to the rotating parts to insure the compound coats them since vaseline does not flow at room temperature. another alternative would be baby oil (mineral oil) which will penetrate better (so that you don't have to dissasemble the moving parts) and flow to where it needs to go.
a lot of the newer fans don't have access to the back of the bearing, they are press fitted from the front.
Thanks for sharing!!
Good tip ...Thanks..
Thanks a lot man its perfect now ! Iput some engine oil and it work fine !
Hey my fan makes noise and stop when the pc opens I mean it make noise only when starting pc was Ur problem like this
Easy way might work for you, might not. My back case fan was making noise. Loosening up the screws could get rid of it. If you want it more secure add spacers to it.
Thank you sir that did the trick
what if it sounds like its banging against something even though its not
same
Same
I just fixed a fan that had this terrible ticking sound whenever it was running. I pushed the blades off (make sure your fan can do this before you do it; typically done for easy cleaning). The problem was there was a little metal/magnet cylinder that was on the inside of the blade assembly that had gotten knocked around a little in shipping or just didn't quite get set all the way during manufacturing. I could even see little rub marks on the cylinder where the assembly was hitting the main housing. I pushed the cylinder down into the assembly, pushed the blades back on, and it started spinning again with no noise.
You need a new fan at this point
Nice one the old faithful 3 in one
Yeah, good be if kit to have
I'm your biggest fan ! Bye for now Cheers
Cheers John
No you're not, I am.😁😁😁😁😁
lol
Could I do this with my stock Intel CPU fan? Mine randomly makes a loud noise.
I do this with any kind of fan, the grease or oil in any fan wears out ...
Also by doing this increases the life of the electric motor. 👍
are there any types of fans you should NOT do this on? like double ball bearing, floating magnet whatever, and so on?
