Hello!
A service technician cleaned dust from my desktop PC, refreshed the thermal paste, and also installed a new SSD.
Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qj-LN3LcHA
But after an hour, a clicking sound began. Is this due to a cable hitting the fan?
How can I resolve this issue without using temporary fixes by rearranging items?
Thank you!

The noise sounds like metal rubbing against metal. It probably means the side panel on the side where you put the socks wasn't secured properly.

I have already taken out the side panels on both sounds, but the "clicking" sound remains even when the desktop case is open on both sides. It only disappears when I adjust something to change the angle of the desktop case.
What might have occurred during the dust cleaning or when installing the new SSD?
Could this be related to one of the hard disks? For example, 2x SSDs and 1 HDD of 1 TB?

It seems like the SSD was installed without the bracket or bay, just connected via cables next to a fan.

Turn off each fan individually until the noise ceases, then verify the source is free from wires and reinsert it. Simple enough.

In the end, the issue was a damaged fan that produced the noise. I worried the equipment might fail suddenly!
