Sitting here next to my tower I hear a

*WOOOOOOOOOO*

First time I've heard this. Should I be concerned?

Oh so the fans are constantly running at 100%? Download GPU-Z and check the temps and fan speed under the "sensors" tab.

There could be an issue like the heatsink coming loose for whatever reason and the GPU fans are constantly maxed out trying to cool it down.

No the fan speed spikes from idle to full and back to idle sporadically

Hmm... I'd check the temps anyway. Sensors may be playing up. When did you get the card and what was the last thing you did before this all happened?
