I recently tried my QX6850 on the asus rampage extreme the thing is it is getting really hot 60c witch it never done when i bought it.It used to sit at about 35c under load also when i try to start a game with the cpu installed i hear a really faint high pitched noise for about 5-10 seconds and the screen will just freeze this also happens when i try 3dmark.I tried my other cpu on same setup and everything works any advice would be great and has anyone come across the faint screeching noise before thanks rich.

I forgot to say its is watercooled i can run prime 95 for hours with the QX6850 but when i go to run any games i get black screen and freezing but with my other cpu with same hardware i can play games.It is still under warranty but i have lost the intel heatsink so intel say my warranty is void is there any way around the warranty without the fan.

High pitched noise sounds like capacitor squeel, this could be coming from the Gcard or if you are overvolting your QX6850 then a cap on the motherboard could be struggling.
