Hi. I have a question.
My case is Cooler Master Centurion 590.
I have 4790K stock box cooler and gpu Inno Ichill 980 ti OC 3x.
I have a weird single plastic creaking ( clicking ) noises coming from directly cpu cooler. Its only when pc is cooling down or heating up. Under load its dissapearing and its quiet.
Its very weird, because when i put load on Prime95 it doesnt click after or at start. Prime95 doesnt cause the noise.
Its always when i start to heating up my gpu by running a game. Or when quiting a game ( cooling down ). And yes i am sure its coming from cpu fan , not gpu.
My gpu have 3 fans , could be that hot air blowing from gpu to cpu making expanding CPU cooler and thats why it creaks ? Any suggestions?

Like i said it is not ticking\clicking when i use Prime95 to test cpu.

Did you read all?On prime95 its not ticking. Prime95 is stress cpu more than games. So its not impossible that fan blade is hitting a cable.

Happens to me too, when I put the CPU fan at less than 90% it doesn't tick. BTW 4790k / 980 Ti with stock cooling...
