Since ive had my card ive had the annoying coil squeal. since then i have tried a higher wattage of psu, a 800W*typo*, which i borrowed from a friend but the squeal failed to disapear.

So ive learned to live with it, but recently during games instead of the usual constant high pitch whine, im now getting a stuttering whine that sounds like a card on its way out.

Should i RMA as im sure this isn't meant to happen...

Edit: yeh ive checked the fan and all seems fine, no clucmps of dust, not even something that might have fallen into it. its just the fact it stutters, sometimes i can notice it if im playing a game, it lags on the stutter, but its the whine that goes away and comes back quickly which all i can think of is that its the component whining is getting turned on and off very quickly or the frequency is changing whithout reason...

its actruly normal to do that, its mostly out of our hearing range through, if its driving you nuts you do have the right to send it back, if its so loud that the annoying next door keeps pounding on the wall
