What is that buzzing or clicking sound during game settings changes?
Hey guys, so I got this new build:

And I've noticed that when I change game settings or sometimes load into a game that my PC makes a clicking noise:

The example video is me changing the render scaling settings on Monster Hunter Wilds
I'm unsure what this noise is and I am a little worried, it actually doesn't make the game when playing games but the above example happens when I load Monster Hunter Wilds or change the render scale, any idea what this could be? I don't want it frying on me, could this be CPU or PSU coil? The same clicking can be heard when switching the PC on and Off but only a single time, could this be a coil, fan bearing or something else?
Hey guys, I found this fresh build here: https:// uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/ryx84p. I’ve noticed that when adjusting game settings or loading into a game, my PC makes a clicking sound. The example video shows me changing the render scaling in Monster Hunter Wilds. I’m not sure what this noise is and a bit concerned—it doesn’t happen while playing, but only when loading the game or changing graphics. It could be coming from the PSU, maybe a coil or fan bearing? The same clicking occurs when switching the PC on and off, so it might be related to that. I’m worried because this build is new, and I don’t want any issues.
I wasn’t able to detect any clicking sounds. There might be several possible explanations...

You can proceed by checking the Task Manager and Resource Monitor first. Use one tool at a time, keeping the window open.
Run the applications normally and monitor for changes when the noises start.
It may require some testing and adjustment to identify what’s causing the issue.
I had to increase my PC speakers' volume to hear it clearly (200w studio monitors).
These crank PC speakers aren't suitable in this case. Plus, I tend to prefer being quiet and going deep.
Welcome to the forums, newcomer! It seems like a fan blade is rubbing against a cable or cable tie. Try wrapping an A4 sheet into a tube, hold one end near your ear and use the other to check for the noise source. Stick to one thread unless you need a lot of help. + Moved thread to Systems section.
