PC makes a rattling sound

[RetroLeaves]

I hope the video has sound. My pc is about a year old, but it is rattling like crazy. I think it's the power supply. Any idea what I should do with this?

clearly some wire got close to the fan 😁

Open up the side panel, look for the fan making the noise , could be the back fan or cpu cooler fan or whatever..

then check if there's some cable bouncing loose around it.

If it's not about a random cable then just replace the fan itself (4 screws and a connector pin) and look for a decent one on Amazon like thermalright, coolermaster or even better noctua and even more better look for the ones having rubber pads around the screws area

I agree with @Siwex89, sounds to me like a cable got into a fan, probably the CPU fan.

If no visible any cable near the fan. could also be a ball bearing from a fan.

sounds like a cable on a fan . but could also just be a fan wearing out.    do what larry said.
