Sapphire 290 Tri-X Vibration issues ?

Also when I try to play BF4 on 1920 x 1080 all I get is flickering ..the game wont settle , so I keep it at 1440 x 900
Plus its now sitting idle at 42c...as opposed to when I first got it , it was sitting at 39c

ok a little update lol....i placed little rubber O pads under the fan screws ..now that did make a bit of an improvement ...but not much..also I changed the angle of the GPU Cables ( pics to come ) ..and so far no vibrating ..fingers crossed :)
 
OK these are the pics I took ...sorry if they are not too clear

This first one is of some small rubber dampers I've had for a while ...these are what I used to put under the fan screws


And this one is of them under the screws



Oh and this is of some Haribo I got a while back...just to end the post on a happy note :D

Yeah mine seems to be behaving so far...I'm gonna try it in another motherboard at some point see if that makes any difference




OK so a bit of an update ..I installed my asus formula Z motherboard ...and also my Tr-X Card , and trying out different fans speeds there have been no vibration sounds at all so far, So I'm thinking maybe the card was touching something on my MSI Z87 Mobo ..or..something on the board was loose ?
