I lubed a Corsair HD rgb fan, at first i used machine oil because i thought that it would be the best because the fans is usually moving fast, but i still could hear noise friction noise, then i used grease, the fan now Is dead silent.
I tried using grease on my fan once, but I was afraid I put in too much since it's a laptop fan it's smaller than that. I applied some grease and wipe it off with my finger leaving some smear of grease. Guess I have to put a little more. In any case, how do I know if the grease is a good quality grease? I happen to have some grease lying around and I don't know which one is the better quality.
@@NekitaNet that's the problem I don't have that in my country. I was wondering if there's a way to tell by touching it. I might not even have a high qualty one. I also use automorove grease, but it's a little thick ii guess it's beeb stting around too longn matbe that's the problem. I had another one that's softer almost like hair gel but couldn't find it yet
All I can do is give the "specs" of the stuff I'm using and that's "NLGI-2". Go to an automotive supplier and with that specification you'll likely find a brand that conforms to it. Can't do more than that for you. Hope it works out.
Excellent tip. I was only using light machine oil, but I think it makes a ton of sense to use a lithium grease and hopefully it also means it will last longer as well.
Going by my own experience with silicone grease I'm suspecting it might get a little too runny with temperature; However: I could be wrong in that regard. Do note: Don't use too much since you don't want it anywhere else! And it dries over time quicker than a proper high temperature bearing grease. If you try it and are lucky with it; Then post a reply comment stating such.
To be clear, this is not a product recommendation! Mine is Multi Purpose Grease NLGI-2 in a 500 gram tub with EAN 8710941400266 Mine is packaged for the Dutch / EU market and these below are US / International packaging.

In general all oils eventually spoil, so use the best grade you've got available. I use the red Valvoline as shown and stated and am happy with the result. Don't use to much, don't use to little; And only use it on the spindle shaft / axle. By the way: If the fan is beyond repair (allot of mechanical play in the bearing surfaces) you'll have to replace the fan and greasing it won't help.
Thanks for the video. Maybe you should consider the title of your video. Maybe add "noisy fan fix" or something. There are people with similar fans looking for this video. Other videos have a fan where you can peel the sticker and lube from there instead of taking the fan out of its case like you did here.
If it has the same build as the one shown in the video; Then it just pushes out... Just with a lot of strength! Can't help you any further then this, but hope it helps.
Bijuu mike put this in his playlist
This was on bijuu mikes’s BitLife playlist for some reason...
You tube algorithms actually work. I just cleaned my fan last night and had no idea how to lube it
Man the rollinh paper for pushing out advice is total engineer stuff ^^ thank you a lot, i was already going to put my drill out
Glad I could help! :-)
Why is this on Highlighter boi’s BitLife playlist-? 👁👄👁
Why wouldn't such a great piece of info be on his playlist?
NekitaNet I guess I don’t know ;w;
Lol
This was on someone’s playlist I was watching and this was the exact thing I needed. I know what I’m doing tomorrow! Liked👍
Thanks for the compliment! :-)
Uhhhhh I found this on bijuu Mikes playlist of bitlife
Guessing bijuu Mike wanted you to watch this video! Or perhaps watched it himself and saved it to be able to find it again! :-)
James 44444 Same here lol
Same
same I was so confused
Same James 44444 and ya idk why
So this might be a dumb question. But do I place lubricant on the dark ring area? 5:34 🤔 I think it’s a magnet ?
Nope, just on the axle of the fan

Yep, grease (quality grease) works great! Great to read you've got success with this as well :-)

I use high quality automotive grease. Hold on, let me check... It's... Valvoline Multi Purpose Grease NLGI-2.

why was this on the bijju mike bitlife playlist
It's been there for a long time. Guessing it's supposed to be.
@@NekitaNet yep i guess so. yet its not a bad thing for you that its on there..
Well, hopefully the viewers of the video also benefited from watching it! :-)
Hey, nice thorough video. Would silicone grease suffice? It's rated for up to 180C and I used it previously on my mechanical keyboard switches.

Thank you first. Is it suitable for all fans and does not spoil it? I want to put it on the Playstation fan ❤❤❤
In general all oils eventually spoil, so use the best grade you've got available. I use the red Valvoline as shown and stated and am happy with the result.

U got vid on how to detach the blades? Thankyou.
No, I did describe how to detach them in the video.
How many time can the fan stay quiet like this?
Until it's worn out of broken.
Maybe this sounds stupid but, i only have WD40 or some weird thick oil like WD40. But can i use vaseline will it act like grease?
Would only use high temperature grease for fans. Vaseline get's runny with heat and therefore shouldn't be used in this application.

Hi temp grease is the way to go. Light oil wont stay where it needs to.
How can i remove the blades of a F12 PWM Artic fan? i cant get the middle point of backside.
If it has the same build as the one shown in the video; Then it just pushes out... Just with a lot of strength! Can't help you any further then this, but hope it helps.
Can I use 15w40 motor oil?
No
i cleaned and lubet old xbox one fan and it dosent move at all
Then it seems time to buy a new fan @Dejfit Stepiag
Poor guy
