Hi, i have a HD 7770, don't think it really matters in this situation. Whenever my fan revs up it sounds like a wire is hitting the fan and it is so loud i can hear it over music with headphones, if i push in on the gpu's plastic covering everything it stops, is there any way to fix this?

Alrighty, i will try and see what is wrong, do you have any key things to look at? I'm assuming its the fan hitting something.

Yes, after you've taken the shroud off, ensure that there are no wires in the vicinity of the fan. I doubt there will be, because there aren't often wires on that area of the PCB, but check anyway.

Additionally, check the inner trim of the shroud once removed - there could be a loose piece of plastic that is blocking the fan.
