Hey, I recently just built a new PC, and have gotten this constant ticking sound when I boot up and run a specific game. I don't have a hard drive, the GPU fans aren't spinning while the ticking noise occurs, and I don't believe cables are getting stuck in the CPU cooler fans. Maybe the CPU cooler fans are hitting the fins? Could anyone give me some pointers on how I could diagnose where this ticking sound is coming from? Thanks.

Still sounds like a fan. If it's not the one on the graphics card, it must be the cpu fan or chassis fan. Can you stop one of them long enough to see if the ticking stops without destroying anything?
