Hello everyone, my card, since I got it, has been every once in a while making a weird beeping or ticking sound.

I'd like to troubleshoot this problem so if anyone could help guide me with what could cause this sound please let me know.

I don't think it is coil whine but I wont argue that it isn't.

It should occur in example a loading screen of a game or in game when you just havent turned on vsync or If you are playing and old game, sometimes iz Just occures at browsing Web ETC... It sure does sound like coil whine, I strongly think it is nothing else. If you have the Time Just RMA the card and get a New one.

I had got a similar problem on my gtx 970's. It was actually the cable connecting the fans to the power on the graphics card . They were rubbing Just a bit on the fans and then that noise came... But not always, so that seems to maybe be the case or it is the coil whine, try to watch the gpu closely and tape the cables xD like I did

Here is a hopefully audible sound of the problem.
Might have to turn volume up, but be careful I did knock into my case with my phone so headset users WARNING.
