Hi all, I'm having a hardware issue with my custom build. Windows x64 Ryzen 3700X PowerColor 5700XT Red Devil 8gb B550-A PRO (latest bios) As seen in the attached video. Whenever I start up my system, after brief delay, there's a constant grinding sound coming from the lower portion of the case. I've already used a pen to stop each input and exhaust fan individually while the PC was running to make sure it wasn't just a fan and some old bearings. Could anyone with my experience working on PC hardware take a look and help me identify what's going on? Thanks! Video of the issue:

Likely faulty fan bearing. Unless confirmed, CPU or GPU fans suggest the power supply unit is the issue.

You can try resolving the problem without replacing the power supply unit. Look for other solutions or adjustments that might address the issue.

It varies by PSU model and design. Some fans are permanently attached while others use connectors or sockets like case fans. To confirm it's the correct PSU fan, you can place a non-conductive plastic item over the fan to block its movement through the protective grid. The main challenge is locating an exact match. You must ensure the replacement matches size, speed, connector type, and voltage. If you have a local computer parts recycler nearby, you might be able to obtain a new PSU for less than buying a new fan, especially if you can find one at all. Hope this helps.
