Gurgling noise from the CPU during a file operation (Dell XPS 8700 desktop with Windows 7)
Hello everyone,
My Dell XPS 8700 desktop is about 1.5 years old and has been fairly stable all this time.
I did a fresh install of Windows 7 with a new Samsung 850 EVO 500 GB SSD last week. Since then, whenever there is a little file operation such as opening a picture or opening a page on Google Chrome, the the CPU seems to gurgle and once it's done gurgling, the file operation is complete and I can see the picture, etc.
I'm wondering what seems to be the issue because the computer has Core i7 4770, 8 GB of RAM (would soon be 16 GB of Kingston HyperX FURY) and 500 GB of SSD with two other internal drives.
I'm suspecting that the sounds are from the internal drives.
Is anything that I do to avoid this gurgling noise (for lack of better term)?
Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot for your time.

Many thanks for your responses and so sorry for not responding sooner.
After cleaning the interiors of the CPU using compressed air cans, I'm not able to notice the sounds that much.
