I seem to be having a slight problem that relates to this thread. My Sunon 120mm fan works fine and is quiet but it is starting to make a noise that is a bit on the irritating side. As my fiancee use to say, "it sounds like your computer is breathing..."

It purrs alont nicely then gives this "wurrring" sound then goes away. Comes back frequently. I have cleaned the unit and have blown out dust from inside the housing. Would oiling inside the housing prossibly get rid of that or is it just time to get a new fan?
