Question Irregular Popping Noise Coming from PC

[tornadopotato]

As title suggests..

My specs are:
Windows 10 Pro vers 2004
case: ssupd meshilicious
mobo: asus rog strix b550-i gaming
cpu: ryzen 7 3700X
cooler: cryorig c7g
gpu: evga 1080 Ti FTW 3 DT
psu: corsair sf600 psu, new
2 m.2 and 1 2.5"

My PC started making popping noises at irregular intervals, at idle and during gaming or YouTube viewing. I think I have narrowed it down to the GPU. I have a video with the noise in question. Any help is appreciated.

There are no cables getting in the way of fans, and it happens on startup almost every time. Don't know if this link will work or not:

sounds like it could be a bearing on the fan

Okay so basically it may be popping when it ramps up and down?

is the fan spinning all the time? if you could turn it off or disconnect it and the noise stops you have your answer.
