Graphic grease.
Two weeks ago, the cooling fan on my 6 month old NVIDIA-powered graphics card suddenly went amok and started making noise like it was a vacuum cleaner. I hoped it would just go away, but it didn’t. Without wanting to spend S$20 on a new cooler to replace the fan on what essentially was a S$100 low end video card, I decided to try something decidedly different. I wanted to use sewing machine oil to try and ‘lube’ the fan, but alas, there was none within easy reach.
So I had to resort to 2 drops of cooking oil. It’s been 5 hours now and so far, everything’s quiet and back to normal. But if anything goes wrong, I just hope the entire computer doesn’t, you know, get cooked.
