Hey guys, I'm completely stumped.

Recently whenever I've been playing games, I've noticed that there is a buzzing noise coming from my case. This is all games too. While i was playing bf3 i stopped all my case, cpu, and gpu fans for about 15 seconds (which I know isn't good practice) And while they were all off, I still heard the noise. It's very audible and can hear over my 3 case fans + 1 cpu fan and my 2 gpu fans. So I assumed it was the power supply.

But now the weird thing is, whenever I run an AIDA64 stress test, and stress my ENTIRE system, and have my gpu and cpu at 100% load, all I hear is the normal sound of my case fans. I'm really stumped here guys.

I've also manually tuned up all the fans in my system and none of them make the sound.

U can try RMA if u wanna try... u may get lucky and get the one that don't whine...

but it quite rare except if your high end model or custom pcb ones (it got higher chance to get)

edit: btw make sure it's the card, try open the case and hear it closely
