Is this normal or not? Did you hear?

What was I supposed to hear? If it was a high pitched buzzing noise then it's jsut the inductors whining and you're fine if it was a repetitive clicking noise then one of the fans is running too slow and you're still fine.

Could be Coil whine, not too uncommon with graphics cards. More about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coil_noise

the clicking sound I'm pretty sure is from the fans. As said by Buildzoid it is generally associated with fans running too slowly. Although I had a clicky issue with one of my 280xs and one of the fans just died about 2 weeks later so it might be a good idea to keep an eye on temperatures because of this in the coming weeks. Should be fine after that.

I had a similar noise occur with the same cooler at 400 to 1000 RPM past that it disappeared.
