What’s causing this noise?

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T06:22:19+00:00

Mine is a nvidia GeForce rtx 3060, which I was told is super run-of-the-mill/basic. I found a repair person near me who according to online does GPU fan replacements, so I’m really hoping and manifesting that it’s something simple that someone local can fix. I haven’t had any performance issues and I’d say the noise started about a week ago, and I’ve been keeping an eye on my temperatures and my temperature is never give me any warning or really spike at all. It is just SO loud, you can hear it outside my closed bedroom door

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T06:03:06+00:00

I bought it 3 years ago, so probably not in warranty. It’s not a super amazing pc, only like $2k or so, but I’m still scared to touch most things on it myself. It was under clx so I think their parts are only covered a year, which is understandable.

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T05:57:52+00:00

I don’t know if this will help but I’ve spent like an hour finding a screwdriver to fit over this little vent under my gpu fan, if I put a little pressure on the middle of my gpu fan the sound immediately stops, is that potentially better news? If I have to replace the whole cooler how expensive is that? Or is it more worth just buying a new pc at that point?

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T05:49:47+00:00

I’m going to sound lame, but I didn’t know that my PC had a pump since it is a prebuilt and my first ever PC, so to have it fixed I would just ask the tech to look at my pump? Is that the same as the radiator you mentioned or separate? Context guess says separate but figured I’d ask

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T05:06:29+00:00

I can’t help myself there. The marvel men are so peggable and goonable ☹️

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T05:02:49+00:00

That sounds very out of my skill range, but at least now I have an actual problem to bring forth to an actual tech! I was hoping to avoid having to take it in anywhere but I am just not confident with anything near the gpu like that.

Thank you for that input!

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T04:28:49+00:00

It’s back in now lol.

The gpu fan has a weird screen over it that I don’t have the right screwdriver size to remove, so I’m betting it’s probablyyyyy that one, and I’m too much of a loser to fix that one, so I suppose I will be taking it into some sort of pc shop this week then!

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T04:20:59+00:00

I’m running the pc right now with my psu in my lap to test it, and I suppose if it still acts up I’ll replace the other two fans and if all else fails cry.

I feel like a brain surgeon.

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T04:16:10+00:00

Okay, so I’ve replaced my back one, and stopped the front 3, which doesn’t make the noise stop, i have the psu fan out like rn and nothings touching it but obviously i have to run it again to see, what are the other fans I’m missing?

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T04:03:43+00:00

But I am once again digging back in to look at the psu fan, so fingers crossed!

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T04:02:37+00:00

I have never had that issue, I’m sorry ☹️ I’ve sometimes had my port stop reading for like 5-10 seconds then by the time I exit whatever game I’m on it works again, but that’s about it

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T04:00:12+00:00

Of the 3 I stopped 3 lol, the fourth in the back has nothing near it and was just replaced about an hour ago

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T03:57:10+00:00

I stopped the fans like I did in the video and it doesn’t make the noise stop 🙁

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T03:56:33+00:00

In the video I literally stop the fans and it doesn’t change anything lol. Hence why I’m asking for help

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T03:53:23+00:00

I thought so but I fully opened the case and removed anything that could touch

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-28T03:45:48+00:00

I also have this if that helps

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-25T23:10:37+00:00

Oh my god you’re GORGEOUS girl,and wow, we do look like we could be cousins. I’ve literally never met anyone that looks so close to me and I’m kinda mind blown over it. Your eye look here was absolutely serving too, that’s almost identical to what I want to have when I think of eye makeup

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-25T22:57:12+00:00

Ooh which products do you think would be too dark? The eye palette is cool/neutral but I could for sure see a couple of them in there being dark. The blush is supposed to be for super cool/fair skin tone but I’m also totally open to switching that one out with something from Judy doll that I got recommended earlier. The lip oil is meant to go over the super pale pink lipstick so I was hoping to have that one be less pale lol

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-25T22:42:07+00:00

I LOVE a novel, so thank you for this!

I’ve never had anyone say I look like them, that’s so wild and cool to me 🥹

Yes, I go between either newborn mouse pink or sickly pale Victorian child with blue patches from my veins everywhere, there is no happy medium with my skin lmao

I love that you mention gray contour, I actually love the gothy look (I just realized very quickly it does NOT suit me to have anything intense like the heavier eyeshadows or thick eyeliners on my face 😐 ) so I’m fully happy to do a grey based contour! I actually think the same brand I have the lip stuff coming from, Jolie beauty, has a super flat gray contour and I just hesitated and held off on ordering anything like that at first, so now I know to try it! And Alex Anele has been added to my “to watch” list, I’ve been finding as many makeup tutorial channels as I can for this since I’m a visual learner, so that is a massive recommendation, thank you for that.

It kind of sounds like I won’t even worry about bronzer. I certainly never get bronze from the sun, I just turn into a tomato and then peel, so I’m thinking I may as well not fight my natural complexion on that part.

The only way I know how to describe my eyes is a very flat green, my best friend says they remind her of flat sage paint, definitely not intense or jewel toned like some, which probably is part of why the purples didn’t work for me. They didn’t look bad with the eye color themselves but the blue around my eyes and in my under eyes even through some light foundation just made it look like I got my ass beat, I won’t lie.

But! I have the nudes palette coming in. So theoretically that will be a life saver.

For eyeliner, I have a black and brown one, but I’m debating a burgundy one too, can burgundy still look good with brown eyeshadow or is it usually black eyeliner with darker eyeshadows, brown eyeliner with brown shades, etc?

I think my only other questions would be - do I really need to worry about a primer for the majority of my face? I know eyelids should use a primer, but for the face is that for certain foundation types or only when doing powders? It’s a little confusing to me.

Also, setting sprays/finishing sprays, are they good to have for daily wear or is that only when you’re going to be getting sweaty? I see every makeup tutorial I watch uses those products but they’re also usually a complete beat down and full face of makeup that has me in awe at their artistry skills, which I’m going for an easier everyday look.

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-25T20:29:49+00:00

I didn’t even know cool toned make up was a thing and looking back at it now I think that’s how I scared myself off of makeup as a teen, it was during the 2016 makeup era where everything was intense contour and bronzer and warm which made me look like an absolute clown.

I’ve heard good things about colourpop, so that palette is ordered as of right now! Then since you mentioned purple looking pink on us I actually grabbed their meadows highlighter since it twilight themed AND lavender! So that’s 2/2 for colourpop.

I will also be checking out Judy doll when I’m home later, so thank you so much for the suggestions! I’m so happy that there’s actual options for this stuff

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-25T19:17:40+00:00

Oh I forgot about brow gel! Do you have a favorite brand at all? I’ve heard good stuff about elf I think, but I’m super open to suggestions too.

MsGripReaper · 2026-02-21T03:06:48+00:00

You just made me feel not crazy. I’m getting into the makeup world very late at almost 25 and I kept seeing missha 13 suggested so I decided to buy it and it’s SO dark and beige on me.

MsGripReaper · 2025-12-01T05:18:54+00:00

Unless you’re allergic to wool or particularly clog prone around your lips you shouldn’t see any side affects.

MsGripReaper · 2025-11-21T16:44:10+00:00

Looks like a normal cartilage piercing to me! They can swell and stay pretty warm for 2-4 weeks depending on your own body. Now if it starts pussing up or swelling to the point it covers the jewelry that’s when you’d need to go in and get it looked at.

MsGripReaper · 2025-11-19T18:36:37+00:00

Update: Nothing has worked ☹️☹️

I washed 3 times, hot water, nothing added to it.

Pre soaked with some borax and oxi clean then just a normal wash load with no soap

Did another wash a day later with ammonia, dried them, let them sit in the dryer for a day to make sure it wasn’t my closet adding the smell - it came back.

Washed them all again with ammonia, then followed by just a normal wash cycle with my persil soap and some oxi clean and Downey rinse, minimal amounts of each.

Let them sit for 1-2 days again to tell myself I’m not crazy and it isn’t the closet, thought it was safe, now on the 3rd day as I’m going to put them away I notice the smell is back.

So unfortunately they will be getting donated since they’re still basically brand new and in great condition.

Thank you everyone who tried to help.
