Graphics card making weird noises
Just to keep things straight, you're only supposed to hear the airflow from the graphics card, right? I just got a new one and it kind of sounds like the fan is grinding. I'm about to RMA it. I got an EVGA GeForce GTX 550 Ti.

UR,
Likely it's fan is hitting it's shroud. You could try pulling it out and spinning the fan manually to see where it's hitting and see if you can push and make some clearance. Otherwise as it's a premium card then just RMA it. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck, ask me about rig #2 !

Otherwise as it's a premium card then just RMA it. Well, when I spin it manually I hear it as well but it's not hitting anything. I also downloaded the tool to turn the fan up and down. So I know for a fact it's the fan. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built

Well then it's an RMA candidate for sure, maybe they'll ship one out if you charge the price of another to a credit card and then ship the defective back in a few days. That way your still up most of the time. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number A blend of brains, brawn and dumb luck, ask me about rig #2 !

I have my old graphics card still. It just sucks because I've been waiting for a while. So now I have to wait for my box to ship it back, wait for them to process it, and then ship me a new one. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Built
