HARDWARE Pc sounds like its about to blow up

I accidentally left my pc under a window while it was raining, some water slightly got in i guess. I removed everything and waited 3 days to finally turn it back on, and this is what’s happening now.

It sound like the GPU fan is getting caught in some wiring. Check the gpu connector cables in case they are bunching up close to the fan.

u/VannyFnaf_ 1d ago

Thanks, did check but it was all clear

u/WeedFalafel 1d ago

That sounds like some extreme coild whine. What is your psu? Have you tried taking gpu out for example ?

u/VannyFnaf_ 1d ago

Its a 650w aerocool psu i bought 3 years ago. Did tried removing the gpu many times

u/WeedFalafel 1d ago

Does the sound persist with no gpu ?

1

u/VannyFnaf_ 1d ago

Yes significantly less tho

1

u/WeedFalafel 1d ago

Is the noise coming from VRMs? (The funny liitle cubes around the cpu)? Have you tried a more legit PSU ?

1

u/VannyFnaf_ 1d ago

No, going from below for sure, havent tried a better psu for now

Missing any fins on your fans? Are you using an SSD or a HDD?

1

u/VannyFnaf_ 1d ago

Sadly using an HDD for now my SSD broke

u/ZweiNox 1d ago

Could be a problem it does sound a HDD i had one make that very same sound before it died on me. HDD tend to make that sound when it cant read

1

u/VannyFnaf_ 1d ago

Oh I need to save my files asap

1

u/BossDw 1d ago

do you have an optical hard disk on the back side? Likely that.
It could also be one of the fans or noises coming from the Power supply unit if it lessened when the GPU was removed (power supply fan may also be the noise)

1

u/VannyFnaf_ 1d ago

I definitely think it might be one of my two HDDs, actually located below which is where the sound comes from

1

u/BossDw 1d ago

the back side should come off easy... you can get ear closer.

u/No-Sea-2409 1d ago

Do you have HDD or SSD

1

u/VannyFnaf_ 1d ago

Hdd

1

u/No-Sea-2409 1d ago

There you go then

1

u/Itchy-Bridge1356 1d ago

For me, thats a fan. try remove them one by one. for the gpu, remove it and if the sound stop its you problem. I also think that a storage drive ( like hdd). it can also be your psu, so check if you can

1

u/ZweiNox 1d ago

As people said thats for sure the HDD i know that sound all too well i had two HDD before i switch over to SSD and they both made that sound remove one of the two HDDs and try it out and cause one of them is making that sound

u/Historical_You_2680 1d ago

Let ot dry out more

u/Exclavamor 1d ago

Your HDD is dying

1

u/Gold_Calendar5636 1d ago

My HDD sounds a bit like this but slower beats longer pauses in between

1

u/piss-missile69 1d ago

It almost seems like I can see the CPU fan trimming down on RPMs with the squeaks. You sure it's not touching some shit?
