My fan on the video card started making noise and stopped, overheating the card. I blew of the dust and it is better but still sometimes need to spin it manually to get it rolling.
The card is just over a year old. Can the fan be replaced, oiled, etc etc?
Thanks.

A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week. A pint of sweat, saves a gallon of blood. No poor bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making other bastards die for their country.

Must be replaced - cannot be oiled.
The fan's shaft has a hardened chrome surface that wears with time. Once dust and dirt get inside and expedite that wear, it's over. Oil will not make up for the loss of hardened metal. (It will last a day or two, but not for long.)
Here's one option:
FrozenCPU / ATI Silencer

Thanks guys, I would hate to through out an expensive video card due to a $2 fan.
I will look into this.
