Re: CPU Fans - Which, when, and why
what the?! u dont lube ball bearing fans! it just makes the ball bearing ring slippery and not grip on the shaft of the rotor causing grinding noises. u only lube sleeve bearings!
anyway, that second twitchy fan definitely has a bad motor phase on one of the coils so the fan is considered bad unless u can repair the faulty phase like momaka said.
as for that slow pulsing fan, clean off all the oil off the ball bearing ring and shaft with a paper towel. lol! those arent meant to be lubed with oil!
