Hello! I've recently been having an issue with my GPU. The unit I bought is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130951 . It's been in use for a little less than two weeks, with no problems until today.
I noticed it began making a strange sound, sort of a clicking, under load while playing Guild Wars 2. I recorded the sound in question here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hl2oIKGWvd8 I've managed to find information about GPU whine, but this doesn't sound like that.
I've tried steadying it with my hand while it runs, to no avail. I've also tweaked the fan speed through MSI Afterburner while not playing the game, though I was unable to replicate the sound, even at higher fan levels than normal. The two statistics that spiked in tandem with the sound are memory clock and core clock, though I'm not sure what to do about that. The fan is not hitting anything.
Any assistance provided would be greatly appreciated. I could potentially get a replacement, but I'd rather not if possible, as I'd be out of a computer for a few days. If any further clarification is needed, please ask. Thank you for the help!
