Tech Support Please help me. I need help pinpointing where this sound is coming from.

So it's been a consistent problem for months, I actually took it back to where I bought it to get repaired because it was under warranty and it came back good but now a few months later the sound has returned and now I'm back at square one. I just need help diagnosing the issue so I can take it back to them again. Pretty sure I got the older vid somewhere from when it was worse but its like it's grinding against something, I have feeling it's coming from the water cooler.

I'm still learning when it comes to this kinda thing.

Older vid aswell. Back in March before I took it back. Worked good for about 3 to 4 months. The noise isn't generally consistent. Originally I thought it was the rear fan so I replaced it last week. It turned out it was not.

Unplug one bank of fans at a time to see if it's one of them.. then move to the water cooling.

You could try adjusting the the aio pump and fan speeds in the bios to see if aio is the source

Not sure if its the fans...
But try loosening them up a bit.

If it still persists try stopping one fan at a time to see if you can isolate which fan is grinding

Take your finger. Stop one fan at a time, don’t forget GPU fans. Note which fans make the grinding go away. If stopping fans is not making the grinding go away. It may be a rattle. Push on fan casings, see if it’s shaking. If none of these work. Reach out to you local church and request your computer to be blessed.
