X1900XTX - is this normal?

Just a quick question regarding my recent purchase of a Club3D X1900 XTX.

When I boot up, the first 1-2 seconds the gfx card starts spinning with an insane loud noise, and right after it slows down so it's not really saying anything.

First I thought that the high spinning fans were normal, but this doesn't happen during games nor various benchmarks - so I am curious why it acts like this?

Also the fullscreen boot logo gets corrupted - is that related to the gfx card?

Besides the above I have no problems whatsoever, everything runs smooth and fast and I get "expected" scores from the hardware.

But if the card is able to spin THAT fast/loud when will it actually use that?

Motherboard is Abit KN8 Ultra nForce4 Ultra.

Any comments would be appriciated.
 
Thanks both - I'll have a look into the boot thingy :)
My scores seems normal in both tests, and I don't see any gfx errors or anything.
Oh well.
