GPU weird thump noises

[MDC4Tr]

Hello,

I'm an owner of a ASUS GeForce RTX 2080 Dual O8G for an year now and in the past weeks I've noticed some strange noises coming from my PC (I've build it) when starting/closing high demanding games.

The thump seems to stop if the GPU is not under heavy load (after some time) or if it didn't went through heavy load that day.
I've high pressure cleaned my case for dust last week and did some more cable management in the hope that would fix the sounds. But it didn't.

Today I've re-sited my GPU and cleaned it a bit and it seems to make the same weird sounds in specific situations.

 

My specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x (stock cooler)

PSU: Corsair TX650M 650W 80 PLUS Gold

MOBO: Asrock AB350 Pro4

SSD + HDD: Seagate HDD and a Samsung 850 PRO SSD

 

Here is a video with the weird sound:

Please note that this was recoded while not under load (just after I closed high demand game) and the fan should be at 20% right there.
The sounds are coming straight from the PC (like an old father clock) ... and I'm pretty sure its from the GPU (but it also might be coming from the PSU).

 

Is this a reason to panic ? What might be the problem here ?

 

Thanks a lot!

That sounds like the active power factor correction of the power supply - I personally don't hear anything abnormal. It could also be the SeaGate HDD - they're pretty crap and tend to make more noise than Toshiba/WD units.
