    Annoying noise (not the first time) coming from the GPU?

    My motherboard is easily 5 years old, it was my suspicion too :toast: Yep, the tones change, all the time, depending on the task, browsing, games. I will observe it for a couple of days more and see what I can do. Thank you!

    Annoying noise (not the first time) coming from the GPU?

    I tried recording it with my phone, no good results. It's a non uniform sound, it's nothing like a buzzzz from a fan, but you could call it a buzz too, possibly vrm, motherboard's or gpu's..

    Annoying noise (not the first time) coming from the GPU?

    Hello! Today I returned from Christmas "holidays", and I've been noticing a noise that I have heard before, which would eventually disappear or become a lot quieter normally, but not this time. I hear it all the time, louder when loading websites rich in pictures flash and so on, when...

    Shipping anything of the size of a video card will easily cost 50$ or more & take a week. :p

    PSU dying?

    I just returned it to the shop and I've been told that video card RMAs take usually between 5 and 8 weeks, doesn't necessarily mean they will attempt to repair it, hopefully not :o No big deal ;)

    PSU dying?

    Well, you've been lucky! I don't really care, I was looking for a replacement and a 6850 will resell better than 5850 due to a large number of refurbished 5850s selling for 95€ here, 6850 never dropped under 120€ :p I spotted a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti OC for 10€ less than what my 5850 cost me back...

    PSU dying?

    Yeah, it's Gigabyte. If they decide to replace it with a new card, you're right, it will be the HD6870 at best, nevertheless judging from the past, when I RMA'ed a Samsung 500Gb HDD, they didn't have one to replace it and offered me a full refund, which was 90€! for that price, the day I...

    I will RMA it. HD5850s are out of stock, hoping for a juicy new video card ;D Thanks!
