Many things do not like the heat.
My main desktop PC is squeeling like a very loud thing. Switching it off overnight hasn't helped. I'm expecting it to die sometime soon which is a shame. I really ought to find out if the loud noise is the power supply fan or the cpu fan.
Anyone know what oil lubricant I can use in computer fans nowadays? Are they all manufactured to never need oiling?
My understanding is that if it suddenly makes a noise then it is probably bearings that have gone - and so the whole fan needs replacing :-(
[EDIT: Taking off the side panel seems to have helped. There is a lot more convection now...]
