I got the OcUK 970 card and after a week it had a buzzing, thinking that it might be caused by the PSU I replaced it with a Superflower one.

After installing the new PSU the buzzing reduced (still there but only really in menus in games) but now I seem to have lost fps.

In games where it would hit 60fps (had vsync on) it now at times struggles to reach 20fps (average 20-30). Even running heaven it reports a difference in fps.

Any ideas what may have caused this and how to fix it?

I have i7 920,P6X58D-E, 12GB RAM, W7 64
 
Thats odd. I really wouldn't expect that to happen, dropping from 60FPS to 20FPS is massive. The only thing that I can think of is that you might not have reconnected a power cable properly? It probably wouldn't boot at all in that scenario though, but maybe it's still drawing some power just not quite enough.
