So, about an hour ago I started playing some CS:GO and out of nowhere my GPU started to sound like its running at 100%, I have never heard it this loud even when im playing games for hours, I checked AMD CCC and its saying my fan speed is 20%. I shut my computer off, let it sit for about it minute and when I turned it on my GPU is still sounding like its going at 100%. Its so loud I can barley even hear my HDD load things.

Just installed triXX and that actually works in controlling fan speeds. So I opened up my computer just now and looked at the fans..I notice that the middle fan is the only one that looks and feels like its running at 100%..I put fan speed to 0% (I thought it would stop the normal acting ones) but it did make them go considerably slower while the middle fan still looked and felt like it was stuck at 100%. I also just tried to play another game of CSGO, it ran pretty ok and suddenly the noise stopped..but then it kicked in a few minutes later.

Im guessing I should just RMA unless there are other things I can try?
