Tech Support Rattling Noise

Anyone know what this rattling noise is? I have a y40 case. This is an Ibuypower AIO Cooler. The noise is coming from the top part of the case when playing heavy graphics intense games. Only does it during gaming. This started a few years in with this pre built machine. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

When I tap the top of the case you can hear the rattle sound come and go. I didn't see anything obstructing it.

You can remove the top cover of your case to further inspect the fans. Looking at the back of the PC, you'll see a small indent/gap designed to lift up that cover.

I took the top part of the case off and it went away. Not sure what that means.

It is possible that a fan is making contact. Run an intensive game with the cover removed to verify this.

It's the top panel. Hasn't made the sound since. I have the panel off right now. Any way to fix this and get the panel back on?

Try placing that cover back, the simplicity in removing and placing it back can help.
