yeah but these fans are the cheapest money can buy. they also run nonstop.
if you experience any problems, you should just replace instead of trying to repair.  if something is worn out, grease and cleaning won't get you anywhere.
I've been an electronics tech for over 17 years and I used to do RMAs every
