Hi
This GPU I bought in March has always ran a little hot. Despite being cleaned fortnightly, it always hit 70-80C under full load. It's abnormal but not a big deal so I just left it. Lately though, I believe it has been emitting this strange rapid clicking noise when under load. Initially I thought this was my PSU but upon actually putting my head down right next to my machine I'm pretty sure it's the GPU. I tapped the side and it makes an extremely similar sound.
What could this be? The side tapping says to me it's probably a loose cable but I have never taken off a GPU cover so I'm cautious about trying anything. Could it be a dodgy fan?
