yesterday i installed a new cpu and everything seemed to go fine but today i turned on my computer and its making like a grinding noise(i had an old computer that made this kind of sound much louder and we called it (its thinking noise). but this is all new stuff and my g2030 that i had in there dident make this noise. its a used i5 3570 and a new cryorig h7 cooler. if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be fantastic. also i noticed that my H7 kind of moves around on the cpu. is it not tight enough? i tightened it until the screws gave some resistance. thanks for any help i can i get.

Check if no cables are hitting any fans, and tighten the screws until you can't move them any further. (You might have to use a little force)

A grinding noise generally means a fan bearing is wearing out.. usually.

 

Give your PSU a tap and see if it stops

I just left it, it would seem that you have to tighten the screw connecting the two arms on the bottom of the mount, and once it's mounted the screw is virtually inaccessible without a really long tool to reach through the hole through the heatsink to it.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

left the pc on and took the front panel off, found that the noise is coming from the little case fan (the oldest fan in the case) and a little noise coming from me HDD. the HDD noise is normal right?

HDD's do indeed make some noise, but if it's very loud there could be something wrong. Use CrystalDiskMark to diagnose any problems.
