I just completed assembling a new computer and wondered about the occasional sound it makes every minute. I attached a recording for reference. Please let me know if you need more details to identify the noise and understand its cause, especially regarding whether everything was properly connected or if there’s an issue. You might want to boost the volume to make it clearer. Computer Noise.m4a
