I know, I know. I shouldn't have used WD-40 on my fans and I should've done my research before hand.
Anyways, 2 days after I put WD-40 on my CPU fan (because it was noisy), my computer was shutting down at random. In little time did I find out that my CPU was overheating because my CPU fan is underperforming. After starring at the BIOS for a bit, my fan was indeed underperforming, and at a increasing rate. It normally runs at 3000-4000RPM, but it was at 1500 and decreasing. This started happening the day after I applied WD-40 to my fan.
I tried cleaning the fan out completely by rinsing it with water, but it only fixes it temporarily.
