XFX8800GTX making a noise

Got my XFX 8800GTX over a week ago for OcUK. And since the day I installed it into my PC, I get a high pitch whine, from the card, once I power down my PC. I'm hoping its just coming from the fan on the card.

I'm just wondering what you guys would do, is it worth me RMA'ing it and sending it back to OcUK and asking for a replacement? Or would you put up with it. The sound isn't present when gaming or whilst using the PC, you only hear it as the fan cycles down once the PC is shut off.
 
Thanks guys.

Seriously though, its NOT getting enough power??? Is a 600w OCZ Stealth extreme not enough to power the card???
