My friend has been complaining about a loud PC. Its his GPU. During load his fans report like 4400 RPM. But i this video, it sounds like maybe something metallic has failed? Ball bearing or something?

 

 

I originally got the vid on snapchat. When he texted me it the quality went to complete **** and the sound isn't as loud and "grindy" sounding, but it should be enough to identify a potential issue.
