Hey Guys

So im not sure where to put the thread so sorry if its in the wrong place :/

But for about the past couple month something in computer is buzzing, i thought it would of been my hdd with a scratching sound. I took the hdd out and it still continued to buzz

I am water cooling my cpu with a cooler master seidon 120m. Could it be the cooler? 

And if so is that bad....and should i get a new cooler

Thanks Guys :)!

Could it be a something hitting one of your fans? Can you try to find the source of the sound while it is running.

 

Spoiler

Case Bitfenix Ghost, Mobo Asus Maximus VIII Ranger, CPU i7 6700K @4.2 Ghz cooled by Arctic cooling Freezer i30, (barely). GPU Nvidia GTX 970 Gigabyte G1 @1519Mhz core, RAM 16Gb Crucial Ballistix CL16 @2400Mhz. SSD 128GB Sandisk Ultra Plus as my OS drive. HDD's  1TB  Seagate ST31000524AS its OEM, 3TB Seagate Barracuda, 2x 500GB WDC Blue (RAID 0)

If it isn't working absolutely perfectly, according to all your assumptions, it is broken.

I know its not from any fans, cause i looked and saw that no cords were in the way. I sound like its from the cpu area, but im rly confused still :/

Have you got a stock heatsink or another cooler? Could be the pump of your AIO.

Plug your pump into molex, make sure it has the full 12v.

Ha, i found out the problem, so i have the asus z87 sabertooth motherboard, and there is a small i think 30 mm fan above the GPU which is making the sound. Thanks for all the ideas guys :)
