    i ve been getting strange noise during game play from the right hand side of the computer. would this be the graphics card's fan noise? it more like a continuous click noise than a fan noise? is it normal?

    I think I've heard this nosie sometimes too. It's been noticable enough for me to stop and try to listen where exactly its coming from. seems to be in the back right corner for me.

    It's weird.

    Well I hear a click sometimes but its just a single click coming from the left, almost sounds like a hdd indexing.
