Question Weird Noise from Motherboard? Maybe RAM?

[caseysharp]

Hi everyone!

New PC Build:

- B650 AORUS ELITE AX (AMD5)
- AMD 7950x3d
- Crucial Pro DDR5 128GB Ram (5600 running at 3600)
- Onboard graphics
- HdPlex H5 Fanless case


There's a strange sort of scratchy noise coming somewhere inside my computer. It's hard to tell exactly where it's coming from. I don't think it's the ram because I've tried each stick individually and I continually get the noise. I have 4x32 sticks.

I'm not sure if it's something else on the motherboard, but I bought the fanless case for a very specific reason and this scratching noise is defeating the purpose

I'm curious if anyone here has had similar issues and what your fix were

Never heard of RAM making any noise for any reason.
You may have a Fanless case but there should be at least one on CPU cooler and in PSU. "Scratchy noise" could come only from fans and HDD. From electronics, usual noises, only buzz or squall.
