i don't know where to place this, or where to ask, but i've been hearing some very constant and silent click / tick noises since yesterday night after opening a game which i used to play normally, it's easy to hear, and seems to increase while gaming and then turn back to normal, it hasn't stopped since then.

Since i have no idea on what's happening nor where does the sound exactly come from (though they seem to come from the fan) i've left a video with the sounds, please follow the instructions i left on it to clearly hear it, i've removed most background noises from the recording, i'm currently checking if turning off some fans will stop the clicking.

Click / Tick noise (video)

Thanks.

Thanks for the replies, by restarting the computer i've noticed that it comes from an Intel fan, though since i'm not good at remembering components and stuff, i cannot exactly point out what it is, though it resembles a PSU with the one fan and etc. the pc is about to turn 1 year old, just in case.

Can Overclocking cause this? in case i can provide more info.

Stopping the overclock made the sounds dissapear, it seems that it wasn't a good idea at all : /
well, not like it made a significant difference whilst gaming, in terms of performance.

I'll keep track of it, in case it wasn't just the overclocking, thanks.
