I noticed on the fan on my 9800 pro will spin up and then slow down and go fast again and then slow and will keep going like its dying or something. I have cleaned it out with can air but it still does this. has anyone else had this problem and would it be covered under warranty?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

warranty. Don't get aftermarket cooling unless you want to ruin your warranty.
I called ati and it is covered under warranty for 3 years. They said go ahead and RMA it to them and they will most likley send me out a new one. Bad part is that it will take 10 days probably but I have a laptop I guess I could use just to surf the net with. No games 
You do have a point though that would be cool if they do send me a better card so its worth a try.

good luck with ati's RMA department, I sent in my 9800 pro and they sent me back a 9800 non pro. I have spent the past month calling long didtance trying to get a 9800 pro back, finally today they decided after 36 calls that they would send me a pre-ship RMA and i could expect a card the end of the week. thumbs down to ati customer support.
