Just built my new PC, specs below. And now for about 2 weeks there's a clicking sound that I can only assume is the video card since I'm using an M.2 SSD and 2 SSDs. Anyone else experience this? Know what it is and how to fix? Please help?
 
Motherboard: Aorus GA-Z270X K7
Processor: Intel i7-7700K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB DDR4 3000
Power: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G2
Video Card: EVGA GTX 1080 SC

    What kind of coolers are you using?  Could be a AIO pump or a case fan in general.  Check and make sure nothing is in the way of their blades all around.

    Using a Corsair H100i v2.
    Yeah, that's what I thought too but there's nothing in the way of the fans. Sorry should've also mentioned that the sound is intermittent and not constant. It definitely sounds like the classic HDD tick. Unless SSDs tick; if that's the case, then my mind is blown about SSDs.

    Could also be the PSU fan or air that got inside the pump. I would open the case and play with the fan speed in precisionX to make sure the sound is coming from the card and not somewhere else.

    Does the sound stop if you take the 1080 out of the system and run on integrated graphics?

    Yes, the sound goes away. :-(
    Defective video card?

    Possibly. Try doing this to see if it helps stop the noise.
