You just completed your setup and then the computer began producing chainsaw sounds. After attempting cable organization and reinstalling the CPU fan, the issue persisted. The noise typically appears around half an hour after launching. What might be causing this? 20220703_123102.mp4

Turn off all the fans and observe whether the chainsaw sound remains. If it does, attempt to connect them individually.

It seems like the fan might be broken. I recommend turning them off one by one unless you can identify which one is causing the issue, then replace it.

The new CPU fan is the standard cooler, and it's the sole fan besides the power supply unit.

It seems like a high-speed fan inside a sealed unit with exhaust and intake ports. Why isn’t there extra fan for those areas?

Avoid any issues by skipping the case and GPU fans. You can disable the fan by pressing your finger in the middle, not near the blades. Do you have a hard drive?

The complete specifications contain the brand and model of the power supply unit.

The GPU struggles with that kind of noise, but the PSU is a seasonic GC-500 and I have a case installed.

The fan noise appears when adjusting the speed, indicating a possible issue. Consider replacing the CPU fan if the problem persists.

We understood it. Keep an eye on the temperature and notice the levels. Swapping it for an aftermarket CPU cooler is an option, but make sure to include at least an intake fan. It seems the situation won’t change much—just quieter operation when idling thanks to a larger heat sink, but when you push the CPU or GPU with more demanding tasks, the fans will kick in right away. Without intake and exhaust fans, your CPU cooler might just keep pushing the hot air generated by the GPU, CPU, HDD, SSD, NVMe, and motherboard.
