| | The clicking is probably just the HDD being normal. I replaced my near-silent 80GB 2001 HDD for a new 200GB Maxtor. The Maxtor is incredibly clicky. |

| | There quite a few of HDDs that make a ton of noise. More than likely it is fine.The noise is probably it reading and writing to the disk. If your old HDD only lasted 3 months, did you try to contact Seagate and have them replace it? I recently had a WD drive that they replaced after a year and a half. All it cost me was shipping to them. Check them out online and see it they will RMA it. You may be surprised!! |

| | It is the cpu? I thought u said the noise came from the hdd. I am a little confused. Are u talking about the cooler on your cpu? Is it. A ball bearing fan os a sleeve bearing? Sleeve bearings get full of crap and make alot of noise which may go away with slighht preasure. Please clarify where the noise is an d which componant. |

| | i wasnt sure where it came from at first untill i opend up the side of the case and it is now the cpu fan , could be the bearing as i did apply some pressure to the fan pushed it in a little and the noise went away yeh sorry thought it was the new hd because ive not had this clicking noise before. |

| | Try just rmoving the fan and blowing it off with some air duster. It may work for a little while but in the end it is still a bad fan. If and when u replace it spend the extra couple dollars and buy a good ball bearing fan. Will be money well spent. Good luck. |
