Okay so my pc is silent almost 99.9% of the time but sometimes when im just chilling, not even playin games or anything i start hearing a buzzing noise from my pc.

when i move the 1cm it stops

idk what this is and should i be concerned?

This probably doesn't have to do anything with the noise, but that rear fan is sucking A LOT of dust into your case. Move it to the front of bottom, as an intake.

I have exactly the same problem!! I've searched the entire case for loose cables/screws/ties and I've found nothing at all.. I'm starting to think it might be one  of the HDD's...

Weird buzzing noise?

Check for bees or wasps in your case. You might just find the culprit. :P JK

Yeah I've got 5 in my rig, it's the only thing I can think of now. Unless it's the H100i pump, but it doesn't explain the randomness of the sound..

It's probably something called Coil Whine where the electronic parts inside of anything electronic, vibrate which gives off a odd buzzing noise sometimes. It gets more often as the system gets old.

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT
