So I recently purchased a Nvidia Geforce 770gtx 4gb.

I replaced my old EVGA 550ti with this new 770gtx, same slot, used spray air on the PCI-E port, just a little and it was clear of dust, Installed this new 770gtx, reinstalled drivers, but now whenever I enter a game It suddenly has a extraordinary amount of static noise, its about as loud as the fans at ~3500rpm.
My 550ti also had noise when I launched a game but it was only half as loud as this new gpus is.
It almost sounds like static/air, its hard to explain, however the GPU has been able to play games at much higher FPS's than my old 550ti, so I can tell it is working. And monitoring Gigabytes OC Guru 2 module shows me it is sitting at its max voltage of 1.2v while in games at a GPU clock of 1267 at the moment, GPU temperature at 50c and fan speeds 1470rpm. (In World of Warcraft, also sits here for AC4)
So is something wrong with this GPU? Or am I just over concerned by this static, it actually gets quieter the longer the computer is on it seems.
More Specs if Needed: PSU is 750W Modular from Corsair, CPU is a 3570k, Motherboard is a Asus z77-LK, 8gb 1600mhz ram g.skill.
Edit: Its also probably usefull to know I tried reseating the card and made sure all the connections where plugged all the way, all good there, dident fix problem.
