    try & find which fan(s) is causing the noise as in psu fan(s), cpu fan, videocard fan, or case fan(s).

    No, trust me, it has nothing to do with overclocking.

    check your video card fan, those are always the loudest. Many people blame the larger fans but the small video card fan is always the loudest.

    A bit baseless, among the noisiest PCs I've ever come across don't even have graphics cards. You will typically only find the graphics fan noisy when it's under load (unless of course it has worn out bearings, in which case it will be loud, and unpleasant - this befalls graphics fans more than most due to the high rotation speed)
