The computer produced a significant sound when it powered on.
The computer produced a significant sound when it powered on.
The only times my PC produces this sound are during extended power-off periods, such as when I shut it down overnight and don’t restart until around 4:00 before turning it back on. Each cycle of turning it off and on triggers the noise, but after three attempts the sound disappears once more.
I also installed Fan Controller, turned on my GPU fans silently, adjusted the exhaust fan speed without any sound, couldn’t boost intake fan speed, and raised cooler speed with no noise.
It turned out to be my exhaust fan, so I’m checking if the impeller might be misaligned and touching something on the shroud.
