Hey Ladies n Gents.

I'm having an issue with my PC. Not sure what's going on but I have a clicking/ticking sound coming from it since it was built.
I do believe it's the cooler or a fan? Not too sure.

The PC
Processor - Intel i7 4770K Haswell Socket 1150 LGA 3.50GHz
Motherboard - Asus Sabertooth z87
Ram - Corsair Vengance 16GB
GPU - AMD 290X 4GB
Cooler - Corsair H100i

What happens ? The issue.
Boot PC Cold Boot up - Corsair Symbol on H100i Gloes Red and makes a horrible ticking sound. Reboot PC Symbol turns white no sound.

Running WoW on Ultra, BF4, Any game for like an hour this ticking sound comes back.

Contacted Corsair - They said try adjusting fans to 100% then back to normal. Nothing changed. Since then they've pretty much not helped.

Do note I don't have a cable running from my H100i to my motherboard.

Sound Im Getting. I believe it is the cooler. Or a fan issue.

I shutdown Corsair Link because it doesn't change my GPU fan speed it always sits at 20% - Idle

So I used speedfan this is what I get on loadup.

How would I got about shutting down the individual fans? Doing so through Corsair Link doesn't seem to do anything same with superfan. Turning them down to 0% usage doesn't show any physical signs on the fans slowing down or anything.
The sound comes from the top of the case which is where the radiator is of the H100i with two fans. I believe its one of the Rads fans.

 
Done that, seems to be the front Rad fan. It's spinning slower than the rest. Though there's no ticking sound coming. Though I'll see after an hour.
