Hi there,

I'm having an issue with the computer i bought few months ago, it started to make some noise periodicality and when i shut it off.
My concern is more about if it's normal noise that i just didn't notice until few weeks ago or if it's something that is a sign of defect or degradation.

I tried to localize the sound to see if it was related to the PSU since my brother who bought almost the same PC as mine had to send it back because of a malfunction of it's PSU.
The sound seems to be located on the top of the case, so i was wondering if it could be the fans situated there.


I've tried to capture it using my phone, i've put the link of the video ( not sure about the volume of the video, so might need to put the volume to the maximum.

My config :
Case : NZXT H710i
CPU : i7-11700K
GPU : RTX 3060 12GB
Motherboard : MSI Z590 Gaming Force
RAM : G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3600C18D-64GTZR (32x2)
PSU : Be Quiet! ATX 850W - Straight Power 11 80+ PLAT
SSD : SSD Crucial 2To SATA III MX500
HDD : 3.5" WD 4To RED 256Mo SATA III 6Gb
CPU fan : Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 4
Top Case Fan : Cooler Master MasterFan SF360R ARGB (120x3)
