my 1080 FE fan is making some noise, i am pretty sure it is the bearing in the fan, i was wondering if it is possible (and a good idea) to relubricate the bearings in the fan

GTX 1080 Founders Edition fan

if it is possible what oil/lubricant does it use and what would be a recommended way to do it?

I've done that before on a 270X and a case fan once. Seemed to work and make it quiet. I used a 3-in-1 multi-use oil. 

 

If you're looking to replace the fan, here is a website that some here have mentioned before. https://www.gpufanreplacement.com/
