Hi guys! I just built my first pc and everything was fine (Was very esd safe and had a experience builder with me). However after a week into using it. I've notice a weird "clucking noise" I guess you can say clicking but sounds more like a clucking to me coming from the back of the pc.
Checked the HDD and SSD, nope. Checked the fans by stopping them one by one. Still nope.
Checked for loose wirings and everything seemed to be tide up nice and tidy. Nothing in the fans way. Yet still no solution on how to stop the noise. Maybe that's how the pc is suppose to be?
Temps are all perfect. 23c on cpu and 30c on gpu when idle. GPU fans are not even running.
The sounds mostly come from the cpu heatsink or from the back from the pc? It's very hard to tell. Someone help asap?

Okay bad luck its one of the bad units from evga (not terrible) , explaining the clunk noice.
rma it if you can for an evga supernova gs or g2 unit.

conclussion: your rig is fine but try to get a quality powersupply especially with those expensive units, as soon as possible.

@superninja12 so I'm suppose to hear a constant clucking/clicking sound whenever I run my PC? I currently have the evga 650 modular supply. I don't ever recall hearing the sound until today.
