I was just minding my own buisness watching some 1080p videos, suddenly the card start to fucking scream as fucking mad. For some reason it will only scream when i get into windows, it sounds good during startup and failsafe. I tried new drivers but it didn't help. I formated windows and it still didn't fucking help? What the fuck is going on?
It sounds like a car breaking and that fucking squealing sound.
The card is 4 months old now.
It's a ghost.

Hint: fans are loud.
Perhaps it are high frequencies emitted from the capacitators on the board?

Coil whine. You can either deal with it, or RMA it and hope the next one doesn't do it too.

He could also use a bit of hot glue if it's a toroid coil.
If you don't want it, I'll take it! :3:
Also, something's probably wrong with the fan.
I'd just RMA it.
It's an Apple fanboy.

I see what you did there. :smug:
That was a very good pun.
But why, its probably just a coil whine, nothing to wait two weeks for an RMA
It's some messed up shit then, it still sound like fuck when i stopped the fan but why the hell do it not mess up in failsafe or during startup? I had this sound before on a 4870 but it's way way way worse this time.
Im one pissed kitten right now.

You need to resolder the capacitor. If not, RMA it.
i hot glued it, looks like it did the trick.
Let's just hope you never RMA it then.

You can get the glue off should it come to that.
