Hello,
So I've never had an issue with this fan before, or the CPU so this is a first for me, I apologise if I leave anything important out.
Tonight I turned on my desktop, and as it was just loading up windows, I started hearing a strange clicking sound, which quickly turned into a chime like sound. So I took the side off and found it is definitely my CPU fan. I cleaned it out to make sure there was no dust or anything inside of it, but it hasn't helped.
It's not running hot, not overclocked, it's a few years old, bought new. Apart from it being an Intel I'm not entirely sure what it is sorry.
Does anyone know what's wrong with it? And more importantly can I still use the computer for a few days until I can get a replacement?
This is the sound it's making, it sounds like it's hitting something, but I'm positive it's not.
