ok so in my quest for an ever quieter system(I know there are better ways but I want to to try some quick and simple things), I decided that maybe I should add some sort of oil lubricant to my fans. None of them are loud(4 coolermaster led fans and a zalman cnps7000a cpu cooler), but I'm sure they'd be slightly quieter if properly lubricated.
Now I know lubricating works, but my question is if its ok to use wd-40. I did some research and most sources don't recommend it because its a mediocre lubricant not designed for high speed moving parts. However, I want to know if it will actually be detrimental to use it. Obviously its not the best choice, but I would think it'd be better than nothing. I have a lot of it lying around, but not any other types of multipurpose oils that I've seen recommended.
Anyone ever try anything like this? Your input would be greatly appreciated.
