Hey guys. So I bought a computer (pre-built) from PC Case Gear about 7 months ago and it's been smooth sailing since. But recently my motherboard has been making very weird sounds. I thought it might have been the fans in the case or GPU so, I cleaned them but only realised it's coming from the motherboard area. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's becoming more consistent.
It'll come up randomly even when I don't do anything on my PC. I.e. it's not under pressure or anything. I looked at Task Manager and nothing unusual is loaded in the background or anything. Seems to just be a hardware issue.

I recorded a short 7 second video so you guys can hear it here:

My specs are:
Intel Core i7 7700K
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition 11GB
Gigabyte AORUS Z270X-Gaming K5 Motherboard
Be Quiet! Silent Loop 240mm Liquid CPU Cooler
G.Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4 32GB
Intel 600P Series 512GB M.2 SSD
Seagate Barracuda 2TB HDD

Plus a case and LED lighting.

I also run on a ASUS PG348Q ROG Swift 34in 100Hz monitor.

I'm not too savvy, so sorry if I don't know that much. I thought I'd ask incase anyone has an idea what it is.

Thanks guys.

The water pump can still be working good, so you might not see a temperature increase, but the sound definitely is not good.

Try contacting PC Case Gear so they can take a look at it, I would believe they gave you warranty.

It kicked in again while using it and I checked the temperature of both the CPU and GPU.
CPU was around 31°C and the GPU at 33°C. Maximum load of 5%, so barely using anything.
