I have been testing my GPU and system to make sure it is stable. I have been watching the GPU in HWMonitor and can see the following.

One of the fans looks like it could be periodically slowing down and speeding up. So I set them all to 100% and sure enough one is and you can hear it as well. There does not appear to be anything else wrong. Happens at stock setting, with fans at 100% you can see it in hwmonitor. GPU has never had any of the voltage settings touched or has anything stupid been done to the graphic card. Everything nice and safe.

I am stable but the only issue I have had is that BIOS sets SoC and VDDG to the same voltage but VDDG does not drop to 40mV below SoC. With ABBA bios. This causes cracking sound, restarts with vray and a hard disk getting IO errors after userbenchmark. Reducing it from stock values fixed that isssue. Thats when I noticed the fan issue on the graphics card. Its like an issue with the fan control.
The fan just losses RPM and slows down every so often. Not for long, very brief. I get the feeling that this card could be a RMA which I really don't want to go through.
The only thing I have OC'ed is the RAM and its stable. I can game all day stable. Run all the tests and bench marks I like. I have a 1000 watts PSU so no power issues.
