Soft creaking sounds coming from mobo\cpu area.

Intermittently, there will be a sound coming from inside the computer that sounds like a slight creak, not high pitched but sort of like when you step on a wooden floorboard. This usually happens as the system is coming out of load or going into load. I wouldn't be that worried about it normally, but since it hasn't happened before I'm wondering what could be causing it.
Noise is coming from near cpu fan.
Could the motherboard or cpu fan be "warping" from the heat? Is this normal?

Edit: A more akin comparison might be to a car that has just turned off, and the engine makes kind of sporadic ticking noises as it cools off. Just wondering if computers could make this noise as well (but not as loud).

my pc is:
Asus Sabertooth Z97 Mark 2
8gb ram
4790K
Corsair 750 RM
Inno IChill 980 Ti ultra 3x

Probably one of your fans. Try turning them off one by one and see if the noise goes away.
 
Hey. I have a Cooler Master Centurion 590. I am using stock box cooler in 4790k.
So. Whenever i starting running a game ( pc is heating up ) i can hear a single ticking plastic noises from cpu cooler. After that is quiet. But when i quit game ( pc is cooling down ) i can hear the same similiar noises from cpu area.

This is something like this here:

Are you sure it is coming from the CPU cooler area? It could be the case changing temperature and expanding/contracting. I have this with my Corsair 600T, though with these it is a common issue.
 
If I put a decent load on my graphic card, I can hear it crackng as it warms up and again as it cools down. At first it worried me, now it's just a normal noise that I might hear every now and again. :D
