Hello,
I have been hearing weird clicks coming out from my PC over some time now and I kinda ran out of options for finding the problem. I recorded this video, you can hear the click in second 27 and 41 sec (you might hear me clicking the mouse around that time but thats not it).

My setup:
CPU i7 4790 3.6GHz
CPU cooler SilentiumPC Fera 3
Motherboard Asus Vanguard B85
PSU SILENTIUMPC ENDURO FM1 GOLD 650W
Case Corsair 330r
GPU Geforce Asus GTX 970 STRIX
RAM Kingston Fury 4x4gb 1600mhz
SSD Samsung 840, Crucial CT128mx
both of my 1tb HDDs were disconnected at the time of recording video so I ruled it out.
This is what I determined so far:
Click doesnt affect performance
It is irregular - can be every 10-15 sec for few minutes or every hour even less often.
It doesnt seem to appear when PC is idle
There are no components or cables that might be hitting fans
PSU is fine - noise was there before I got this one about 2 months ago
HDD is OK as I disconnected both and the sound remained
Motherboard is fine too - got it only recently and the noise was there before i swapped it - it used to be worse before change but this could be due to better acustic case
Case is OK - i got it only several months ago. With old case the noise was more noticeable
On the software monitors I could not find any correlation between the sound and fan speeds or voltage
Any ideas?
