GPU Squeeks!!

Has anyone out there experienced this?

When ever I get a 353 credit wu for my Zotac 8800GT it makes a horible hi pitched squeaking noise - the only thing I can compare it to is a broken hard drive, hi pitched and intermittent like a hard drive writing data It doesn't do it with other work units

I also have a Asus 8800GT but this doesn't make the squeaking noise

Any ideas :confused:

That doesn't sound good - should I stop running the client?

I have also noticed that it still makes this noise when I decrease the usage of the gpu down to 10%

Are there any other cards (other than my Asus 8800gt) that don't squeek?

Interesting you say this Vertica has already mentioned it - can either of you remember where you heared about it
