Hi all. Recently this sound keeps coming out from my CPU.
I suspect is the HDD. But i just bought this system like 3 months ago. I'm using toshiba pc p300 2TB HDD. I checked all screws inside are tighten. Wiring all secure with cable ties. What could be the issue?

Attached the sound file. It is from 6 secs onwards....

Remove side panel and listen using sound meter app or using your ear to pinpoint source of noise. Likely either come from cpu or gpu fan.

The sound seems like coming from the right side panel beside the HDD. When I open up the panel, feels like coming from HDD. Or I could be wrong. :s22:

Because I see the screws all are tighten. So it is quite weird.

The sound will only come once in a while.
