I recently assembled a PC and the fans have begun emitting an unusual loud beeping noise, which is quite intense and has been occurring frequently. I’m unsure how to eliminate this sound, wondering if I may have oriented them incorrectly. This issue is similar to what happened with my previous H100i purchase—it still produces the same exact noise. It seems possible that the fans were blowing in the wrong direction. I’ve attached a video with the sound for reference.

I'm not sure, it's often difficult to identify noises from recorded audio regarding internal PC sounds. From what I can hear, it seems like a dry fan bearing. I would try turning off each fan individually until the noise disappears, helping you pinpoint which one is causing the issue and then consider an RMA or return/exchange if they are new. You might even find it isn't a fan at all—it could be a pump problem.
