First of all yes, i have googled everywhere and read forum posts but they havent gotten me too far.
Secondly, as english isnt my native language im not sure how to exactly express the sound in words so heres a list of other definitions i came up:
Chirping, scratching, Sharp Grinding.
If i would need to explain it in a sentence, It kinda sounds like something metallic hitting something metallic thats moving, but not like sharpening something metallic.
thirdly, specs:
Fractal Design Define R4 (r2 silent serie 140mm fans included)
Asus Sabertooth 990fx R2.0
2x MSI GTX 660 Twin frozr
AMD FX 8350 With Noctua NH-D14 CPU cooler
2x Coolermaster sickwflow 120mm Led
As i dont remember the other parts names, ill leave them out until someone might need the names.
It started today when i moved my HDD and SSD around my case but after i unplugged and moved them more, the noise kept going on. I proceeded to googling part after that and started suspecting the fans. I asked a family member to help me locate it and he said it was coming from the GPU, i tried adjusting the GPU fans speeds, both of them invidually, didnt help. I even tried to ''stop'' the fans with my fingers to see if it affected it at all but no.
I proceeded on removing the older GPU but it didnt do anything, i was fairly sure it cant be the newer one either so i didnt try it (yet). After this i checked if it was either of the CPU's fans. The noise didnt come for a while after i had removed and cleaned them, but when i closed the pc in happiness..the noise came out for the 2s it took for the PC to close. I opened it again just to see the noise be back. I tried adjusting the CPu fan speeds aswell but it did nothing to the sound.
So im basically lost, by the looks of it, its either one of the CPU fans (altho theyre fairly new aswell, 4 months or so old.) So anybody know what my next step is?
I remember the sound being on my older PC aswell but it cant possibly be on this one aswell as the only old parts are my Ram, hdd and Cdrom. I havent tried removing the ram sticks yet but they dont make any sounds, do they?
It just puzzles me alot how the sound started after i moved the HDD and SSD around, I didnt touch any of the other parts and i didnt move the case around. I did remove the HDD bracket thingy but the noise is still there even if i hold my hand at the case so it cant be vibration from any part either.
I can try get a voice recording of it tomorrow if it would help.
Edit: totally forgot..I did run the CPU fans off of the huge chunk also real quick but they didnt seem to make the sound.
the sound seems to start after i reach desktop and my PC does this weird thing when every fan goes to high speed for like halft a second, then the chirping starts.
