Hello everybody. My pc has started making strange noises that just started happening this morning. I think it's my fan that's making the noise but I wanted to make sure. I don't know all that much about hardware and what sounds mean what so I took a video to see if anyone knew exactly what it was, and if it's okay to keep my PC running.

It sounds like a grinding noise like something is loose. The last time it was cleaned out was a few months ago so there could be dust stuck in there.

Update: I opened it up again and it seems like it could be the liquid cooler. Is it okay for my PC to be on? There isn't seem to be a leak in the tubes


Thank you.

you got to make sure there is nothing touching the fans, also there is the possibility that the fans are geting old, in that case you most replaced it with new ones
