You need to take the cover off your system. When the clicking/ticking is happening you need to isolate the component where the sound is originating from.

If you take an empty cardboard tube, like the one from a paper towel roll or aluminum foil roll, or plastic wrap roll, etc., and place one end against your ear while moving the other end around inside your case you should be able to determine where the clicking sound is the loudest. That should be the offending component.
