MSI GTX 980 Makes Ticking Noise
Greetings,
I just purchased a MSI GTX 980 nVidia GeForce Graphics Card. It is the reference design and uses the stock cooler. I've noticed that whenever I start or exit a game, I can hear a slight ticking noise, almost similar to a hard drive or disc drive click but softer. It seems to go away during gameplay, but it's hard to test thoroughly there as who wants to play a game on mute for more than 5 minutes!?
I wonder if it has something to do with the boost in MHz.
Has anybody else experienced this? Does it happen with other brands? I'm debating if I RMA it or swap it for another brand altogether.
