So for a day now there's been a lot of clicking noise out of nowhere. I ruled out hard drives after unplugging them and the clicking persisted. I set the video card fans' rpm to zero and it went away, and as soon as the fans spun the clicking started. It gets worse as the rpm goes up.
There are no artifacts anywhere. I already resettled the video card, removed the fans and put them back in, disconnected and reconnected the 8-pin + 6-pin cables. Now I'm not sure if it really is a fan problem, which I could get a quick replacement, or something in the video card is failing and the pwm/fans clicking is a symptom.
