DO NOT USE WD40 I read that part just now... WD40 is not a lubricant.. It's a solvent....
You have to use mineral oil. Quality Bike chain oil works great.
I drill a small hole in the center of the front of the fan...  here is a picture of a 6870 I did a while ago...

You don't have to drill hole.

I agree ^.. Drilling a small hole is a very easy fix.... Really easy to add more oil as needed.

How you drill?
The fan has a spindle in center. So if you drill center, then it will drill spindle also & how you put oil in it?
or have to drill near center instead of exact center?

Drill offcenter 2-3 mm VERY CAREFULLY AND LIGHTLY.

I do to my cards the same thing but on referent cooling, you need to be very careful and all will  be perfect. It takes little more time to you but you dont drill holes on hardware.
