^ In the title,
I believe it's coming from my GPU fan, which is an MSI Twin Frozr GTX 770 4gb. It is relatively new, about 6-7 months. and the problem has been going on for about 1-2 months now. I'm not sure what to do, it's very infrequent, some times it rattles, some times it doesn't. I think it might have something to do with the fan speed. It doesn't seem to pose any immediate harm, although I could be wrong, but it can be very irritating at times. Has anyone had this problem? Can someone enlighten me to what the issue might be, and what I could possibly do to remedy the issue?
Thanks!

Hello,

You can change the speed of the fans by using MSI Afterburner and see if the problem occurs only at certain speeds.
Please also check if the fan don't interfere with some wires inside the case, or the fan isn't clogged with dust or anything.
