Fixing Overheating Video Card with a Noisy, Slow or Stuck Fan | DIY Repair Guide!

A quick video of how to lubricate a noisy fan and replace dried thermal paste on an older video card with no access hole under the sticker. For fans with the access hole under the sticker use that hole for lubrication. The fan may be damaged with excessive force, use caution with this repair. Synthetic grease can also be used as a lubricant.

The fan blade on my GPU is on heatsink and it does not have fan screws.

Is baby oil ok?

Use electric motor oil or synthetic grease for best results.

Funny... cant say i've ever seen a pull apart fan, the center shaft is usually held down by a small plastic or metal c-clip on the backside of the shaft accessable by a capped hole on the back side of the fan itself for lubrication... typically when the c-clip breaks, the fan lifts up like its trying to fly off.

[@Expertpcnc]

Correct, this will only work for fans that do not have the access hole on some GPU fans

My gtx 960 had the fan fall out on its own. And the metal stick that keeps the fan stuck to the cooler is stick on the fan is there a way to fix this can i just glue it

[@toddstewart9070]

What kind of oil was that, or does it really matter?

[@Expertpcnc]

3 in 1 Electric Motor Oil, we recommend synthetic grease if possible.

@@Expertpcnc Synthetic motor oil works well too. 0-20W Mobil 1 will do the trick.
