First would be to observe the fans during start-up or shut-down. If the sound comes because a fan is out of balance or collides something, it starts/slows down differently than others. If the computer is shut down, you may also try to push the blades gently with finger and see if one is more resistant than others. Many fans have individual power connectors that can be disconnected to further verify the origin of the sound, but it should not be needed and even a noisy fan is better than no fan for cooling. As to what to do about it, first would be to clean it from dust and ketchup and whatever the fan is covered with, but most likely it needs a replacement. It means you need to identfy the fan, its producer and model and try to find a replacement in stores.mr.hackcrag wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 01:19 I think one of my PC fans is making a clicking/rattling sound.

Check of presence of cable/s in vicinity of the cooler's blades. Rattling sound is very apt description for blades constantly touching it.mr.hackcrag wrote: ↑21 Sep 2024, 01:19 I think one of my PC fans is making a clicking/rattling sound. How do I identify which one and what do I do about it?
