what's this noise if not the cpu fan?

If you say something like WD40, then that's your problem.

No it was 3-in-1.

TROLL!

You're pulling our leg. If you think 3-in-1 can be used on a CPU
fan. I looked at one recently carefully, and with the 'brushless'
design I don't see where you can insert any lubricant of any kind
without shorting out the same. BTW, to those regulars reading these
threads, I did get a new heat sink and fan and replaced the old one,
and everything seems kosher now, with temperatures a lot lower on my
Pentium IV. I will post a link to what I found helpful in another
thread.

On the top or sometimes bottom of the fan, there is a smal circular peice of
tape or sometimes a rubber stopper that when removed exposes the clip that
holds the fan in place to the fan motor. A single drop of 3 in 1 or sewing
machine oil works wonders to extend the life and to quiet a fan.

No, I think I must just have read out of date websites/forum posts, as
I was following apparent advice. I was sort of relieved when the AMD
man said the fan did not need oiling, and had been baffled about where
to put the oil myself. Troll-spotting is as pointless and daft as
trainspotting, I think I and 99% of people who've been called one have
got better things to do than tap nonsense online.
