Well recently I installed a ssd and ever since my phantom 410 top fan has been clicking..
Any ideas?and when I spin that fan manually I can hear the sound

It does sound as though something is rubbing against the blades. Unfortunately, the video is too jerky to see. Can you post another video, this time keeping the following image. Better lighting will also help. I think that there could be something in the area I circled.
It's common for a wire or cable to get bumped into the path of the fan, so check that as well. Also, just for laughs, you could unplug the fan and see if the clicking noise disappears. If not, then it's coming from somewhere else.
Thanks dude. But it's not from that fan. I can spin that one fine and it makes no noise. The top fan does though. I took that video before school and it was prett bad quality.
And how would I unhook it?
(Phantom 410 case stock fans)
The fan has to be getting power from somewhere. A quick look inside the case around the fan should show you the wires.
it seems to have magically stopped o.O
I got home from school and it wasn't doing it anymore
I left it on all day to see what would happen and when I went in my room there wasn't clicking from the computer.
Dust? idk it is a new computer. It does have a little dust inside tho. Should I be worried?
