I'm getting a strange sound from what I believe to be one/both the new GPUs I installed in my system. The sounds wasn't there when I was running the GTX 280.
Do these cards make a strange noise when idle? The sound comes and goes so its not constant. For example while booting I can't hear it.

Changing the fan speed with SmartDoctor doesn't help.

The cards are brand new and I have inspected them fully, nothing looks wrong.

Here is a sound clip I took with my phone: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WU1JJYVB
Not sure if you can hear it properly if you got a loud PC :)
 
I'm not gonna download a random file off mega upload from someone with 16 posts :P

However it is more than likely capacitor whine, if the loudness is linked to the GPU usage on screen then it will be.

Welcome to SLI...
 
Ah cmon man its the 21st century and everyone has antivirus right? Its just an iphone m4a file.
The thing is why is it only doing that in Windows? Doesn't do it when its in the bios at all
