Question Single Loud Click Sound

[LowDUB]

As the title states. when booting a game or furmark. I hear a single loud click coming from my pc. I can quit the game or furmark and immediately start them back up or wait till gpu fans stop and no noises will happen. Sometimes it will do it while playing a game. Ive already replaced the psu as it was about 6 years old and I thought it was starting to fail. I checked all fans on gpu and system and aio. After it clicks I cant get it to repeat for sometime. Sometimes if i let it sit idling for an hour or so and try again I can hear the click. It seems like its a relay clicking on. my specs are 13900k, Asus Z790 Hero, 4090FE, 1200w Asus Thor PSU. Ive googled for hours and have not found any info. I made a video after starting pc and letting idle for about an hour. any help would be appreciated.

I heard no click, could be the GPU fans kicking in or the PSU fan turning on/off. If your using a HDD it could also be that.

The click is at the 3 sec mark or so. I wish it was a hdd. But im running 2 980 pro nvme drives. I thought about the gpu fan but I can manually turn them on and no noises. I will try go let it idle and just activate the fan and see if the sound happens. Have not. done that yet.

Just let pc idle for an hr then used afterburner to activate the fans. No click sound. I'm just at a loss.

Been trying all afternoon. I cant seem to figure this noise out. Ive triple checked nothing is touching any fans. I can watch the psu fan come on and off without any noise. It's very inconsistent. Am I being crazy about this.

Update: narrowed the noise down to the gpu. I contacted Nvidia and sent them a video. They stated that the noise is definitely an issue from the 4090 and I have rma'd the gpu.
