Noisy and slow fan on MSI twin frozr II

[Excalabur50]

Hey peeps I have an MSI GTX460 Hawk Twin Frozr II and the front fan is noisy and wont spin properly is there an after market cooler that will fit this card I have tried Google without much success, I thought an Arctic cooler might work but they say on their website for reference cards only Need Help Please CHEERS!

You could try and fix the existing one? It might be just old and clogged a bit or something. Take the cooler apart, clean the dust out and lubricate the fan. Might be worth a try.

I have already pulled it apart what would you recommend lubricating it with?

Thats good advice as the price of a aftermarket cooler could almost get you almost a new gtx 460 or 560

something like 3-in-one oil would do the job. Just be careful not to get it on the heatsink.
