My 7950's fan (or fans) have recently started buzzing/crackling when idle. It comes and goes but it is super annoying when doing work/browsing the web etc

I know its the gpu fans because if I adjust the fan speed with afterburner the sound changes. I do get quite a bit of choil whine too when using my overclock in intensive games but its been doing that for ages so not sure its related.

Is there anyway kind of fix for a hardware issue like this? I've been thinking of upgrading but to be honest the card is rock solid otherwise and plays all my games well.
