help my fan sounds like a farm animal

[jose]

Hello everybody, My computer is making strange sounds.

One of my Panaflow fans (120mm) makes a sound similar to a farm animal being squeezed !

I think the fan is about to die.

What do you guys think ?

Make sure your fan is clean, use some air blower to clean the fan motor, something vicious (like a dust ball) maybe lurking from within...

Lift the sticker with the panflo name on it(center of fan hub).
Add a couple drops of oil and top off with a dab of grease(toothpick end). While you do this take care to put to lubricants in the hole.
Replace sticker with black electrical tape. Plug in and enjoy silence once more. If not your fan has thrown a bearing and your should start shopping for a replacement.

Jose:

You need to specify which farm animal it sounds like. Is it like a chicken, cow, pig, horse, sheep, goat, ox, or something else? This will help everyone diagnose the exact problem.
