Strange clanking sound coming from PC

[diwang99]

It's been bothering me quite lately, my pc will make strange clanking sounds whenever I run anything gpu intensive. Is that normal? The sound is coming from the middle of my pc BTW.

 

[diwang99]

can anyone answer? It's really bothering me

You either have a broken GPU fan or you have a wire that is in the path of your GPU fan. How is your wire management?

 

[diwang99]

dunno, it's a factory build

have to check it from inside to pin point the exact location where noise is coming . PSU os GPU fan or any obstruction causes these noises

 

[diwang99]

Also, my gpu never goes past 75 degrees celsius, I have speedfan.

Open it up find out. Unless it is under warrantee. If it send it back.

Might be the hamsters on the exercise wheel ??

The pc isn't under warranty, but it's a university pc so I can probably replace it...

 

[STACKS ON DECK]

so replacement is a good option . if this sound is annoying you . .

 

[diwang99]

the sound isn't annoying, I'm just worried about the sound being a sign to a sick pc

 

[STACKS ON DECK]

but it depends on level of sound . how much the sound is . . if it is loud enough to hear clearly even in little noisy situation so there is something sick inside . . better replace it....

 

[diwang99]

it's not really loud, doesn't happen on startup, doesn't happen when I'm watching youtube, just happens when I play warface...

 

[diwang99]

but, it happens after an hour or so after startup and shaking the pc will stop it.

 

[STACKS ON DECK]

so you you have any option to replace is easily so do it . otherwise this can be some fan noise or maybe from PSU . . you can hold up to this . . otherwise continue with it

 

[diwang99]

shaking the pc stops the sound for a couple of minutes...

 

[STACKS ON DECK]

so why so much worried . . continue with it . it won't be a much problem man . . .

 

[diwang99]

okay, thanks.

 

[STACKS ON DECK]

cheers . . .

uh oh, I have some serious problems now. My pc has been recovering from unexpected shutdowns. I ran startup repair and it worked but I still get this message.
