My computer keeps making a Tssssshhhhhh noise, like every few seconds, sounds like a low volume ice cannon. . . Is that normal? it's not coil whine.

Probably the fans. Go into your smart fan controller in bios and turn off all fans. If noise goes away, it is one of the fans.

 

If it isn't that, go into MSI afterburner and turn off your gpu fans and see if it goes away (most stock configs on graphics cards have a silence mode that kills the fan at a certain temp and if it is too hot, it will go on and when it cools down it will go off. So it can turn on and off every 10 seconds if your temperature is at that threshold)

 

Lastly if that doesn't do it, check to see if your psu has an eco/silent mode switch. Some psu's also cycle the fans

 

But at the end of the day, it is going to be a moving part.that is making the noise. Normally i would say hard drive because i had so many dead hard drives over the years lol (the famous click every 10 seconds of death), but you only have ssds

It's either new coil wine from aging components, dying hard drive scratching the platters or you have a popped capacitor somewhere releasing gases.


It was build last month from brand new. and havent got any HDD, so it is most likely a cap.
