Not seeing any loose wires, also it sounds louder when I put my ear to the metal of the case rather than the open air / glass

https://vocaroo.com/163gSeJjFqKH Like something hitting bicycle spokes or almost like a quiet roulette wheel sound? The fans attached to the radiator. Is this anything to worry about? Gets slightly louder when I can hear the fans speed up, when completely idle and fans are slower like when you power your pc on but let it sit before putting in your pin for windows it's extremely quiet. Corsair H115i Elite Capellix Also in iCue only the pump is showing up and not the fans, any fix for that?

Ah ok was just wondering if the standoff itself did anything for stabilizing the gpu. Thanks for the reply!

When I unscrewed my dvi cable the standoff for the gpu port came with it. Was able to just screw it back in like normal all together and everything seems fine. Is it necessary for me to get some pliers and unscrew the standoff from the dvi cable and screw it back into the gpu port? Or can I just leave it as is.

PC is on the ground and the vent for my central air is ~7-8 feet away from my PC. I doubt there are any issues with condensation as that only occurs when hotter air comes into contact with a colder surface. Anything I should be concerned about? Normal temps during the summer when idle is 36-38c and when the air con has been on for a long time it's 30-32c

Thanks for the help and fast response!

Oh, is that also why task manager shows high cpu usage right when you open it but instantly drops down?

Lately whenever I open up HWMonitor it shows a higher temperature at first (ex:44c) then quickly drops to a lower temp (ex: 30c) in the span of like 3 seconds and stays stable there. If I close and re-open it, it still shows the low temp, but if I open it like 10-15 mins later it shows a higher temp at first then quickly drops in the span of like 3 seconds again to the lower temp and stays stable. (just mostly idle browsing the internet, nothing that uses the cpu much in between). Is that normal for HWMonitor and I just never really paid attn to it before?

Went to eat and came back to my pc, wiggled the mouse to wake the monitor up and the colors were a bit off, a slight pink/purpleish tint. Checked my color settings and everything was normal/default. Turned the monitor off and on and everything is back to normal now. Any idea what it could have been?

Thanks for the replies

Just saw some conflicting info on having it have to spin up more often reducing the life of them.

Windows defaults it to sleep after 20 minutes. Should you set it to a longer time or even never to prevent it from spinning up so often?

Thanks for the reply Much appreciated.

Is the little beep right before the whirr of the spin up normal? These are similar to what mine is making after accessing them after not using it for about 2-3hrs (most of the files/progs i use are on my SSDs)
