Popping/clicking noises coming from pc AFTER shutting down

[Messiahos]

I built my pc approximately 2 months ago and, so far, have found no considerable problems with anything. However, since this was the first computer i have build myself i am somewhat paranoid about having made any mistakes. This brings me onto worrying about a particular popping/clicking noise i hear after turning my computer off:

- The noise does not occur immediately after turning off, but after 5-10 minutes, and it may occur multiple times randomly, sometimes sounding slightly differently
- The noise only occurs when turning my computer off after i have used it fairly intensively i.e. for gaming, and therefore leads me to believe it occurs when the computer is cooling down quickly after being fairly hot
- It is difficult to tell precisely where the noise is coming from, but i am sure it is not to psu or the hdd, as these are quite spread away from the source of the sound.
- My room is fairly cold at this time of year, so it seems reasonable that the warm components of the computer would cool fairly quickly after i have turned my pc off.
- The dark rock pro 3 was a bit of a pain to mount so i worry that something could be wrong with it (although i installed it very carefully and i am fairly sure i made no mistakes).

My specs are:
i5 6600k @4.2GHz
be quiet! dark rock pro 3
Asus maximus VIII hero
Corsair vengeance LPX ram
Samsung 850 Evo 250gb ssd, WD Blue 1Tb hdd
Msi gtx 1070 gaming X
Phanteks enthoo evolv ATX mid tower case
EVGA Supernova 750 G2

My cpu sits at about 20C at idle and rarely goes above 45-50C on normal gaming, with the gpu reaching about 60C when the fan will kick in and stabilise the temp.

Can anyone think of what the sound could be? Should i be worried?

Thanks in advance for any assistance🙂

1| You first need to isolate the source of your culprit noise. The thread title and partially your thread's body reads out like you were having the issue over your audio equipment.

2| It's leading me to think that you're undergoing coil whine. Again, isolate the source of the sound and then it'll be further clarified as to why it's doing it.

3| If you can hear a buzzing noise from your PSU's housing but is more akin to that of a fan brushing up against the chassis, then you will probably need to RMA the unit for having a faulty fan however I'm yet leaning towards you system facing coil whine more than anything.
