PC crackling noise

[Valcorx666]

My PC does this crackling noise from time to time. I don't think it's from the components in the pc. I think it's the PC case because I listened closely and sometimes the sound appears from the front of the case and sometimes the side. It even does it sometimes when the PC is turned off. Is there anything I can do about that? My PC case is Corsair Graphite Series 760T. Thank you.

Just a quick google search landed me on this forum (http://www.overclock.net/t/831636/official-corsair-graphite-club-780t-760t-730t-600t-380t-230t/4800) and apparently other people have had similar issues with their Corsair cases even when off. It is probably due to the metal/plastic in the case expanding when the PC is on due to heat and then when it cools off it compresses so it cracks a bit. So according to the forum it most likely isn't any of your components but the case itself.

Thanks man. I wish I didn't get this case tbh.

Also I tried opening the side panel a bit and the crackling stopped I guess
