Hey guys, a little over a month ago I built my first PC. It's been working great running battlefield 3 on all ultra settings perfectly. My only concern is a vibrating noise coming from my video card. The card is a geforce 660 and the motherboard is an sus p8z77-v, and they sit in a nzxt phantom case. When I touch the card it stops vibrating, and if i push it pretty hard it stops for a while. I have tried lifting the card and then re screwing it in, but I get the same noise. When I push the card in hard the noise goes away for a couple days, but always seems to come back. Is this a faulty motherboard? Any tips? Thanks in advanced.

I'd bet your card and board are fine. You probably have a slightly bent plate. Take the card out and try to bend the tab by the screw upwards slightly with plyers so that the angle causes it to push down slightly more when its screwed in place.

Also yes first try to install any additional screws. Using two should help stabilize the card.
