CPU is watercooled with an ECO watercooler (thermal compound and everything...)

I'VE ISOLATED the sound source. Altho it's hard to pin-point this exact position. The sound is coming from right above the CPU. I used a straw to find out.It seems to be located around the top right corner of my Coolit Eco Water cooler's FAN (that square pump attached to the CPU)...

So it looks like its either coming from the cooling kit or ... considering what my ears were telling me... it could be one of those small cylindrical little metal parts that surround the CPU...

I'm gonna try unplugging the CPU fan for a few seconds to find out
You haven't mentioned the PSU.

Everytime I have had that problem it turns out that a less than top line PSU was the culpritt. Its not 'normal', dont ignore it. It is annoying as hell, sort it out.
