Graphics Card Fan - Grinding Noise

Hi...Ya think it would be OK to pull the card and give it a very fine
spray of oil from a spray can? If I'm careful that it won't go
anywhere else? Better suggestion?

Thanks

Remove the fan from the card if it can be safely done and spray only
if the fan is a bearing fan and not another type of fan.

i would use only air, you are going to put the fan back on the card,
and the card back on the system and the systems gets hot and the oil
will drip and the system will be a mess, in my opinion.

you could put a new fan on the video card

Yeah, works great. If all else fails I will replace the fan or the
card. It's an NVIDIA RIVA AGP, model TNT pro w/32mb ...Mike G
