Sapphire HD7850 Buzzing?

[dneill2006]

Sapphire HD 7850 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card w/ Nexuiz & Sleeping Dogs PC Games [11200-07-20G]

So I'm on my second one of these cards and both seem to have the same problem.

The fan on the left hand side seems to make a buzzing noise, only really heard when my ear is to it.

I have tested all the other fans in my PC by stopping each one when booting and it's definitely coming from the 7850 because when stopping this fan the buzzing noise stops.

Should I return the card and buy a different 7850 or just live with it?

If you can only hear it when your ear is right next to it, is there really an issue?

I guess not. I just get paranoid about strange noises coming from my PC.

Who said that?



I wouldn't worry about it if it is only audible with your ear next to it.

Haha

I'm just used to the silence of my Gigabyte Windforce 3X GTX 670 in my main rig
