One of the fans is noisy asnthough the bearings are going and I need to know what type of fan I need to purchase and if I need some heat gel as well.  The PC is not overheating but the fan is noisy

@P8nzer,

Only a fan needs to be replaced.

https://superuser.com/questions/334489/how-do-i-measure-the-size-of-an-unknown-computer-fan

Likely it is a PWM fan (4 wires). Typical speed is 2500 RPM rating. Avoid those "quiet fans" their spin is too slow. All you should need to do is unscrew the fan off the heatsink and swap out. 4 screws hold the fan to the heatsink.
