Damn, the brand new drive started clicking too, so the root issue didn't come from the actual drive (doesn't mean the initially replaced drive isn't fried)
Tried changing the sata port, then the sata cable, and still clicking, so I am now leaning towards the molex to sata cable... I knew that jank would eventually catch up, but didn't expect it NOW
