My pc has started making weird sounds and I cannot figure what is causing it. The noise is not too regular but comes at random times and really just sounds like a machine is dying. It changes from quiet to loud and so on until it stops.
I have pretty much switched off my case fans with case controls and it doesn't affect it at all, so I've ruled them out. The possibilities I see is the heatsink/fan, psu fan or graphics card's fan. No cables seems to be touching any fans and the sound doesn't really sound like something is touching.
I build the pc myself and it was my first time so I'm scared something might be on its deathbed, It took me 1 year to realise that the reason I hear a disgusting noise when playing games was that I hadn't removed the plastic cover on the graphics card so I'm prone to silly mistakes like that.
Is there anyway I can start looking for the source of the problem?
My spec:
i5-2500k processor Sandy Bridge
Asus p8p67 mobo
4gb Corsair Ram
Radeon 6950 2gb
Antec 600W Modular PSU ( can't remember the model)
