Hey, I have a coolit ram fan that I kept taking out because it was screaming, and my ram started spouting errors in bench that were not present there before I removed the cooling...so I knew I had to put the fan back in. I dreaded this, so I started looking for a solution. I didnt have machine grease or oil around, because I hadnt ridden my bike in 6 years, and had no other use for it... must have thrown it out..
Then it hit me... to try and use the oil I cook with, after seeing that computer being run in an entire vat of oil, used as coolant, I figured Olive Oil wasnt conductive either. Looked it up, and sure enough.
I poured some oil right into the assembly... let it run off, moved it around so the oil would run out of different ends... put the cooler w/ the noisy fan back onto the ram... and voila ... SILENT ... now going on 3 weeks of silent.
The only downside?... after 5-6 consecutive hours of Age of Conan, it starts to smell slightly like Italian cooking.. making me hungry.
(PS: A shout-out to my new friends at MTBR, where I'll be linking this... except one.. you know who you are!)
