I just got this card a week ago and I noticed something strange. The card is silent when idling. When gaming however after some time one of the fans begins to click/chirp. I looked at the fan several times and I do not see anything that would cause the fans to click. Also when I manually raise the fan speed to 60% or higher, the fan noise is gone. Could the barrings be bad? If so should I RMA or return it to Amazon? Also is it possible that if I were to RMA, could MSI send me a card then I ship the card back to them? I have a few upcoming projects.

Also this might be worth mentioning but I think it is a separate issue, the card has coil whine although before I got this card I had two EVGA GTX 760 cards that had bad coil whine. The whine on the MSI card is not bothersome as the EVGA cards.

Here is my build:
i5-3570
Asrock Z75 Pro3 1155
MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr Gaming OC
Corsair CX500M
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB RAM
Segate 1 TB

My friend does not have the problem either. I really hope it just goes away...

Are there any wires near the graphics card that would touch and cause clicking? Or something near it that is loose?
