XFX 4890 GPU Noise Problem

Hi i recently purchased a 4890 and at the beginning I noticed whenever i click and hold onto the scroll bar of a window like firefox for example. The gpu would make a very quiet squeaking sound and the sound only occurs whenever i drag the scroll bar up or down.

It wasn't a big deal then so I didnt bother with it but now after upgrading to Vista 64bit, the sound happens even if im not dragging the scroll bar. It now occurs whenever i move my mouse. The noise isn't loud at all but I notice it when my speakers are off.

Anyone know what is causing this sound or how to fix it? should i rma?

thanks

Have it replaced... I just had an XOC 4890 was lucky not to have this noise issue.

Unfortunately, zip, the only moving part is not the only part that can make noise. All electronic devices make noise. Fortunately, most of it's inaudible. Try a search for "coil noise" and you'll see for yourself. It's a more common occurrence than one would hope. Fortunately, suppliers for card makers have recently completely redesigned coils to combat the issue. Whether or not his card has the new type is the question, but based on the description, it's likely the older version.
