Loud "buzzing" from fan GTX 670

[phx08]

Hey all,

I just built my system a few days ago and I'm hearing a buzzing sound coming from one of my cards. I know that colic "whine" is similar but this happens at certain rpms only. I tried turning vsync on but that didn't solve the problem either. What do you guys think?

Maybe its coil whine but either ways my friends Gigabyte 670 never makes that sound. Return it for another one if you can.

I just recorded a video of the sound. It happens at 85% power for my first card. When I tired it with my second one, there was no sound. Not sure what is going on....

What do you think?

sounds like a bad fan or something in the fan.

1. make sure nothing is in the fan.

2. if nothing in the fan do an RMA. it should not sound like that, them being new they wont give you a hard time about it.

I submitted the RMA, waiting for Newegg to send me shipping labels since I have no liability in this defect...

And thank you for replying bgunner, I appreciate it!
