Hi everyone,
I've searched over the internet to try to find out what in the world is happening in my system. I try to avoid posting help questions, but I am truly stumped and I cannot find any answers online. I am wondering if any of the smart TPU users have any clue what is happening.
I keep hearing "clicks" in my system. I mine scrypt coins using my GPUs, so they are almost constantly pegged at 100% load. My miner occasionally switches pools or loses connection, causing the GPUs to drop to 0% load for a short period. The thing I notice is that when the GPU load drops from 100% to 0%, I immediately hear an audible "click" in my system, and the "click" happens again immediately as the GPUs return from 0% to 100% usage. The "click" definitely isn't random, and it is not sustained under zero load or 100% load; it only occurs when changing states.
The pressing questions I have is if anyone can help me trace this to a specific component and if this will result in any long term damage to my system.
Other internet forums I read where people reported "clicking" noises suggested checking fans for bearings or to see if the blades are striking one component, but I cannot see any such issues in my system and since the noise is not constant it's unlikely to be a rotating fan. I would best describe it as sounding like a small mechanical relay engaging, but I thought modern computers were all solid state?
Thanks for the help.
