| Fans not spinning right i've got a fan from an old PSU, and a fan on my GeForce2mx that aren't spinning properly, i've cleaned them out with paper towel very carefully, but that didn't really help. Any suggestions?

| I wouldn't suggest all that at all. Lubricating the magnet is completely pointless and is a pain to get at. Instead, do the first three steps/pictures, so you have access to the bearing assembly, and then put a drop of oil in there. Note that not all fans have anything other than a sticker over the back end of the bearing assembly.

| Yarrh small thread hi-jack, I have just put a Evo 33 heatsink on my Asus SLI deluxe and in the bios my fan RPM is tottaly random it will go from 0-4000-3000-10-100-20 etc yet the fan to the eye isn't changing speed. However it is causeing the system to stop on boot due to the fan being too slow

| CapitanC make sure that you use very sight oil, like sewing machine oil and not to much or it will spin very slow.

If it isn't a three-wire fan, then that's your problem. You need a three-wire fan to get fan speeds.
