I have this pc for about 2+ years now. I clean it on a weekly basis or so.

The motherboards fan is pretty noisy now. Can I do something to make the fan quiet?

Think they mean CPU fan kan.

When they get noisy, replace the whole heatsink and fan, they are not expensive.

Does your chipset have a heatsink or a fan?

You can get an adapter from Maplin and fit a 120mm fan if you have space. That will cut the noise.

Or clean the fan/ball bearings if your tight on cash and secure it with rubber spacers.
