Hello
where i live there's no techy to help me fix anything with my pc so i've spent the last month searching for solutions, my problem is the gpu fans are - or seems to be - clogged
it's a gigabyte geforce gtx 970 g1 windforce

the fans will occasionally spin and when they stop i can give it a push with my finger they may or may not spin again till i try again .. of course that's bad.

i've watched videos and took the gpu apart - now i'm looked online through online stores for an "Electric motor oil" and can't find any or not sure if it has a different name and since i don't know what exactly is the difference between food oil and that electric motor oil i don't know what i'm looking for since the electric motor oil came up with no results in the www.souq.com search - which is the available online store that i can use.

this probably will sound ignorant but could i use a replacement for that? like food oil or WD40 or that AKAI product ( video cleaner (if akai will work is it the blue or brown can?) butter? regular car motor oil?

i gotta handle this myself and i need your help please.

Hello

the only thing i can suggest you is to remove the cooler and spray on fans some WD40 (just search it on google) .
This might do the job. Otherwise mate you can look for a cooler replacement.
