Hehe,

My fan on my old ATI9000 is running rather slow, and loud.

I sprayed some WD40 on it, and it runs fast, but its only temporary…

Anybody know if light machine oil would fix it? Or some kindo grease?

Its got a non standard power plug, I’ve been told theres no fans available that will replace it.
