OK, bit of a weird one. I've just noticed a strange clicking noise coming from my graphics card (R9 280x) The noise only starts when I fire up a game, as soon as I alt tab back to Windows the noise stops, tab back into the game and it starts again.

At first I thought it was the fans but I've stopped the fans and the noise carries on, it's definitely from the graphics card and nowhere else.

Any ideas? Just waiting for my card to explode! :p
 
Electrical "chatter" by the sounds of it. Is your card overheating? If not, I doubt that there is anything wrong.

Also, does the noise go away when gaming?
 
Temps are fine and to be honest with side of the case on it's barely noticeable, was just loud enough for me to wonder what the noise was.

I'll keep on playing and see if it goes away. I did take a video which I'll try and upload.
