    XFX 6950 Funny Noises....

    I brought this 2 weeks ago nearly now and i've only had a chance to really use it. Noticed that the fan (or something) makes an awful noise under full load. Is this normal?

    Most graphics cards dont sound great at full load to be honest.

    it sounds more like its catching on something rather than just noisy. taken it out and checked it and theres nothing in the way or nothing in the case for it to catch on

    hi. this can be closed off now as i have resolved the problem. the mount holding the fan to the heatsink was loose and the problem has gone after tightening it up
