It's advised to use the 6 pin/6+2 pin connectors directly from the PSU instead of the adapter. Try this first.

will give that a go and get back to you =)

funkyging · 23 Jan 2012 at 21:53

tried that and it still makes the same noise =( just sounds like its going really slowly

beejjacobs · 23 Jan 2012 at 21:54

Sounds like its going really slowly!? What does that sound like? :s Does it sound like its struggling?

funkyging · 23 Jan 2012 at 21:56

http://oron.com/5l350ma1nwbr theres an audio clip of it. just open in audio program

beejjacobs · 23 Jan 2012 at 21:57

please put these on youtube or something next time

funkyging · 23 Jan 2012 at 21:58

would take ages to make an account and change video format for youtube this is quicker =D

beejjacobs · 23 Jan 2012 at 22:01

lol okay.

Well, it sounds like its hitting something for sure!? Is it definitely not? if not, something else is wrong.

funkyging · 23 Jan 2012 at 22:04

heres an image of the card

beejjacobs · 23 Jan 2012 at 22:11

Very odd. Is it definitely that fan making the noise?

Did you try taking it out and making sure its in the socket properly?

Also, I know changing the cable didn't help, but use as few adaptors as possible! They just come with the card as some people NEED them, your PSU has all the right cables already.

im tried something and gonna see if that works now, the bottom left of the circle, the plastic seemed to be touching the fan, i had a look and it was overlapping the hole so i cut a bit off the cover so gonna see if its fine now

beejjacobs · 23 Jan 2012 at 22:15

Hmm, okay. Shouldn't have to do that, but if that was the problem well found! I'd check the fan is spinning centrally. If not, I'd return it!

funkyging · 23 Jan 2012 at 22:20

that was indeed the problem, silent now =D

Thats a pretty stupid mistake to make with the manufacturers >.<

Check gpu fan,from that pic one blade is sticking above the gpu fan case? Lookslike its catching? Ohh glad you fixed it,didn't see other page of replies

any idea on this work around, im using a TV not a monitor for my gaming but im getting a invalid format on my monitor when i try turning PC on, im figuring its because the graphics card drivers arent installed

How do you mean invalid format? What connection are you using?

wazza300 · 23 Jan 2012 at 23:41

it should work in its basic state,onboard graphics or add in graphics card,without any drivers whatsoever,it will still display the image,then you just install gpu drivers,depends on hdmi/vga/dvi connection and resolution that you might be having problems

funkyging · 24 Jan 2012 at 09:21

It had this problem a while ago when it wasnt the right resolution that it would display invalid format, im sure when i formatted my last pc and installed a new OS the TV did the same and i needed to use an old monitor. I found a nice monitor in PC world which im gonna grab this morning as the max resolutio my TV can so is 1280 x 780 or something like that

beejjacobs · 24 Jan 2012 at 10:10

So the TV just says "invalid format" on the screen? How are you connecting it? Vga/hdmi?

funkyging · 24 Jan 2012 at 13:16

Bought a new Monitor so i can finally start installing the OS

I was using a VGA connector from back of TV to PC which had a HDMI> vga ADAPTER
