My PC is pretty noisy, I can't get to sleep when I'm leaving it on for the night.
My lil bro's budget crap PC is silent as fuck.
But his was prebuilt, mine is self-built.
U guys any idea what hardware it could be?

Depends on the sound it makes. It is probably just dust, but it could be wires hitting the fan/too close and vibrating

I'm using a Asus-V52 CPU cooler now.
This is my PC case I'm using:
Could it be my HDD or something being noisy?
Because the noisy sound doesn't sound like a fan actually.

describe the noise, does it sound like something griding? If yes, then it's the hard drive.
Also the power supply fan can create noise as well.

can you record the noise, and upload it?
according to speed fan, one of your fans is running at full blast.

Fan1 seems to go pretty fast. Try lowering it.
