    Is it coil whine?

    Got new graphics card and mainly when playing 3D games there is a horrific noise coming from the graphics card. Sounds like a grinding screechy noise.

    I uploaded a video to youtube http://youtu.be/mvZflcpPMsI skip to about 35 seconds in, you can hear it but unfortunatley the mic on my phone seems to be extremely sensitive and is picking up noise from my CPU fan.

    So is it coil whine?

    Edit: I should point out that the screechy noise is far far louder than it is in the video. We're talking loud enough to hear over the top of a game with the case side panel on.

    to me it's not screechy.. but does sound like maybe a bearing issue very clicky ..
    does it only happen when card is stressed ?
    try a fan controller and up the fans to full when card is idle to check ..
    What does it matter now if men believe or no?
    What is to come will come. And soon you too will stand aside,
