About a month ago I upgraded my GPU to a Sapphire Radeon RX 7900 XTX Nitro+ Vapor-X 24GB. After a few days is started making a bit of a wiring noise when the PC is powered on. Over the last few weeks this noise has is got louder. To see what I mean please check this link.

During gaming the fan isn't noisy, it just seems to happen on start-up. Does this mean by GPU is faulty and should be returned?

In the video please overlook:
  • The stupid noise my Edifier G2000 speakers make when they are powered on (I should work out how to disable this).
  • My dusty case. In real life it does not look at bad honest!
  • Cable management
 
Thanks all, In the end it was quite hard to diagnose (so I ignored it for a while longer). It tuned out to be the GPU sagging down. When I lifted the unsecured end of the GPU up one millimetre with my finger the noise when away. I now have a GPU support stand and the noise is gone.
