PS3 [Slim] Recommendations for noisy fan?

[erdaquin]

My fan was noisy so I took it apart to clean and oil the bearings... now it is noisier than before! ;-;
I washed them with 91% iso alc and then put a drop of Synco Super Lube and let it soak in a little bit before putting it all back together.

Does anyone have any experience with what bearings to get as replacements, where to buy a replacement fan, or maybe I'm missing something and it's not the bearings after all?

Being noisy isn't a bad thing, try changing the fan speed in webman mod.

I should have been more specific, it's more of a vibration type noise as opposed to whooshing air or whirring fan blades. I'll try to get a recording of it or something. Mainly just fishing around for parts sources or anybody with a similar experience.

Clean it. If that doesn't help, replace it. If it's vibrating maybe bearing needs grease to be replaced or it's touching something inside the console OR it's just aged and replacing will do the job.
