Hi. Just got my Gainward 7900gt 512s from OCUK and one of the coolers is making a very annoying whiney noise. The other just makes normal fan noise, but the other produces a high pitch whine. I was wondering if anyone knows how to get rid of this. i know its the fan as when i booted with just other card in there was no whine, and with this one on its own there was. and when i quickly pushed down on the fan to stop it spinning for a second at boot up the whine stopped.

Anyone got any ideas how to get rid of it? (other than buy a Zalman that is!)
 
Thanks Exsomnis, thats what i thought. To be honest im fed up with RMAing things since the prblem with my other pair of GT's and since its payday on monday i think i'll just order the Zalman for the card with the noisey fan then wait til next payday to order the other one! Thank god i can leave my pc alone after that until DX10 cards become the norm and more affordable. That is unless AMD release some kinda Uber chip in their new socket!!
 
Yeah, specially with these puppies! luckily they alread have heatsinks on the ram chips so i don't have to shell out for them! :D
