I know that on my Sapphire 7950 3L fans I can pop the fan of the motor and oil it, but does anybody know if it is possible on an asus 280x DCU2.

 

Thanks

well one of the used ones I bought did need it, since after I oiled the shaft it stopped rattling and the fan returned to a normal rpm (it was visibly slower than the other fan on the same card)
