Hi All,

I wondered if anybody could assist?

I recently purchased one of the above graphics cards and the middle fan is generating an annoying chirpy (cricket-like) noise after 10 minutes or so (i.e. when the fans being to kick in).

Before returning the card to the supplier, I wondered if there's anything I could do?

It's definitely the middle fan, as if I briefly stop it - my PC is silent.

Any tips would be appeciated.

Sounds like a bad bearing on the fan. You could see if there are any DIY replacement options, but otherwise I would suggest returning it if doing the work yourself would void the warranty. I would recommend contacting Gigabyte support about it.

Hi CraigN,

Thank you for your message - and apologies for the late reply.

Had the Graphics Card returned and the new one has worked a charm this past 6 weeks (or so). Fingers crossed :)
