Msi R5850 Frozr II "buzzing/fizzing" noise

Just had a refund issued for my card after several webnotes and 2 complaint forms. The guy on the phone said my card was considered "borderline faulty" (apparantly if it works but produces a noise like a capacitor is about to explode it's not too faulty) and didnt want to send me a replacement because so many had come back with problems. Apparantly an entire batch seem to be rejects with some a lot worse than mine. Interesting that they have been banging them out with multiple discounts almost every week since Christmas and are still flogging them on the site though...

Must be the military grade, silent components :rolleyes: The same ones they use in the Challenger II main battle tank
 
My 5850 has cap whine as well, its not too bad though, but the lines and artifacts on the screen as soon as windows loads is.

Going through the joyful process of RMA, spoke to MSI tech support first and they said it was borked.
