Most likely replace your fans. Dust and grim is the most likely cause to the noise.

not sure what type of bearing you fans have,but try cleaning the dust from the hub first and spray some WD-40 to it..its a bit ghetto fix i know..if nothing is fixed,i think you do need to get new fans

haha i wouldnt recommend that mate coz engine oil viscosity is quite thick. maybe mineral oil/bay oil will do

ouu man you are everywhere o.O

Get new fans or try to clean it at least

No it's not! Engine oil and WD-40 is not similar at all. Engine oil is designed to lube metal moving parts that cause friction. WD-40 is a liquid spray not designed for moving parts under friction it's to loosen rusted bolts stop minor sqeeks on parts while you could possibly use it on a PC fan for a short fix the WD-40 will loose it viscosity very quickly because it's not designed for that type of use.He's better off using small amount engine oil or better yet just buy a new fan.

just buy new and better fans instead

thanks all
