[SOLVED] Loud clicking sound coming from PC

[Spaghetti123]

I've been having this issue for a while now but have chosen to ignore it due to the noise not being too disruptive; however its come to my attention now that whenever i start up my PC sometimes the clicking noise doesn't happen but it causes my CPU temps to go over 90+ sometimes reaching over 100 Degrees Celsius until the clicking starts again, which causes the temps to go back to a steady 30 - 40 degrees.



I have a video of the clicking:

Could be the PSU, it's very poor quality and shouldn't be anywhere near a system that's running an overclocked 1060.
Whatever else may be wrong with your PC, that PSU needs changing for a start.

Raidmax psu any good?

So i have a pretty modest pc build: i3 7100 2x4gb RAM gtx 1050 ti eh who cares an h110 mobo and my current psu is a RAIDMAX XT Series RX-500XT 500W is it any good? should i buy a new psu? and if so what psu should i buy? EDIT : ok how about this psu? ive hear a lot of good things about it and...

Interesting, that also could explain why my cpu has 100% cpu usage in most games i play. I never knew Raidmax was such a terrible quality brand.

Can you recommend me any psu's out of these options? (These are high in watts but that's because i plan to upgrade to an i9-9900k and a 3080 (overclocking them both) soon so i'm just future proofing)

it sounds more like you CPU cooler/fan/water pump is faulty.
especially if you say the temps are hitting 90c +

Mmm, only when the clicking sound isn't happening cause the normal temps are around 30-40c. I'm pretty sure the cooler is fine because i've done nothing that could've caused it to break.
