Greetings, I wound up replacing my previous video card recently because it was having some issues. My last one was an Nvidia 660 Geforce. My current power supply is 330watts and it's external. The new video card is an Nvidia 660 EVGA Geforce. Apparently it's overclocked. We bought it new/barely used from Ebay. Oh and my computer is a Dell Alienware X51. I've updated the driver and made sure I didn't run into the same issue. My computer has been idle for about a week while we waited on the new video card. We cleaned out the dust and then we placed the new card in when it arrived. I'm a big WoW player and today, the second day I've had the new card, I decided to log in and see how my new card was handling it. As soon as I logged in, their was a faint buzzing sound, almost like a faucet was running. As I continued to play, the video card fan kicked on just as my last one did. normal. Then the light in my room would flicker every so often and the game would lag for a split second as the light flickered. Just a little curious on what you guys might have to say, or if I'm just over thinking it.
