Hi guys i was having a problem with my gpu making a weird noise like a mice whining when i play games. And i notice that when the fan hits about 50-60% but when it hits 70%+ the noise will disappear. And i did try putting a little pressure on the card and the noise will disappear and come back as soon as i release the pressure on it.

Hi, could you give more detail like the card model?

Your problem could be "medium speed fan" make nose but high speed do not...

I had something similar with an "SAPPHIRE 100354OC-2L Radeon HD 7870". The weight of the card was enough to bend the card. It's a poor engineering problem!
I tied a small cord for remove some weight on the end of the card and the problem dissapear.

I recommend to check on google with your part no and your problem. You're probably not the only one who have this problem.

Most likely coil whine. Sometimes when playing a graphically 'easy' game and you end up doing like 200fps the card whines. I don't believe it is dangerous, turning on V-Sync or any framerate limiter should solve the problem if you find it annoying

Also. I wouldn't recommend fiddling with the card while your system is on :-P

Actually we have the same card. my problem occurs only when playing demanding games and when the fan reaches 50-60%. But then i tried to close the game and set the fan to 50-60% manually, no weird noise is produced.
