Problem with my new asus 4890

[up2nogooduk]

Just got my new Asus 4890 card today.
installed the card, and the noise of the card sounds like when a bearing goes on something. when i touch the fan, the noise goes. and also goes when the case in layin on it's side. but once back up onto its normaly position, the noise comes back, sounds like a loose car wheel. plus, is the ati box meant to be sealed ? as the part where u open the box was ripped should i just RMA the card... gutted now..
It's not the normal sound of the fan, as my mate has the 4870 card, which don't make this crazy sound.

Cheers.

I got the same card today. It's now under water but when it was running on the stock fan it didn't make the noise you describe.

Also the box was sealed.

That's just it, mine wasn't sealed. hate that is wasn't sealed.
Got to mess around now sending it back etc zzzzzzzzzz

I also got an Asus HD4890 today from Overclockers, and mine is making that same noise as the op is experiencing...seems to be a fault with the bearing of the fan, so just going to RMA it now....bit of a bummer really.

You also.. it's a bummer isn't it. it does sound like the bearing has gone.
But like i said, mine wasn't sealed. not sure why.
Got to mess around sending it back..
I got another problem, but ill make new thread.

I was tempted to go for the ASUS, but instead opted for the XFX 4890 after reading some reviews about the noise problems,
All I can say is the XFX 4890 Rocks ! running UT3 - COD4 and its quiet, set at 50% fan speed and its great

Lol git lol.. do u have you're AA and AF set to 4x 16x with any jaggies ?
Did u go with the one with the 2 games ?

8 on the AA and 16 on the AF + AAA = Quality.. No Jaggies
And yes the 2 Games [ Hawx and BattleForge]

Hmm, i get jaggies. not sure why. anychance you could post a pic of your ati control panel. so to make sure i have everything set right.. im so used to the nvidia setup. as this is my first ati card... what driver u using. 9.5 ?
I wonder if i should change to that card.. shame price.... coz im reading over the net ppl with same problem as me.. i mean i'm i really gonna see a huge different with thet xfx and asus one clocked. not sure//

Cheers

Do you have catalyst AI off, standard, or advanced ?
would they change it for the XFX one ? somethings not right here. fans getting worse.
sounds like it's gonna blow up lol a lot of ppl over the net have this same issue. some novice guy must have made some bad batches..

This is what you get with OCUK. They just keep sending out faulty hardware thats been returned, until it dont come back.

It's not on. looks like i got 2nds lol. really not sure what to do. get the XFX, or refund. first time with ATI. was hoping for a lot more really. shi* happens i guess
