Hi, I just finished building my new rig and I have this chirping/cricket noise from the computer. I have tested stopping each fan individually, sound remains.

The sound: https://www.dropbox.com/s/08y34515v2qn9u6/Chirping%2Ccricket noise.mp3?dl=0

Specs:

• GPU: ASUS GeForce RTX 3090 TUF OC GAMING
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5950X
• MOBO: ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII DARK HERO
• Memory: G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4 3600Mhz 32GB
• PSU: Corsair RM1000i
• HDD #1: WD Black SN750 1TB M.2 SSD
• HDD #2: WD Black SN750 1TB M.2 SSD
• HDD #3: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD
• HDD #4: Samsung 860 EVO 1TB SSD
• Case: Corsair Obsidian 500D Tempered Mid Tower
• CPU cooler: NZXT Kraken X63

Does anyone know what it might be? It's unbearable to me....

It might be the aio pump:

cheers,

There are only 3 items in your build that have moving parts. And you already eliminated the fans by stopping them. That leaves the hard drives or the water cooler. 
Unplug the hard drives. try it. Yes I know it will not boot up, but it will tell you if you have a bad drive.

If it still makes noise then the only moving part left is the pump in the CPU cooler. Replace it.

Good luck.

EDIT: didn't have head phones earlier, now that I listened to the sound it is you water cooler pump. But since this is 2 months old you probably figured this out by now.
