Hello to all in the forums this is my first post (although i have been reading the forums for a long time)
Anyways i got my X1900XT Sapphire card today, and the fan section of the brack was bent, making installation difficult.
Further to this, the fan makes an almost unbearable buzzing type noise, even when idling.
Its the type of noise, you know when your in bed at night and all is quiet, except you can hear something electrical buzzing, usually a stereo or tv etc. that has been left on standby, and its really annoying. Then you find out what it is and turn it off..... ahh relief.
Anyways i get this kind of noise constantly out of my new ati card and was wondering if this happens to other people, or maybe its a fault with my card, or maybe its just how these cards are, and i am overly sensitive to the noise.
I havent even been able to get through a full 3d mark because the noise gets that loud, i cant imagine trying to play a game on it.
It literally makes my ears hurt.
Dont mean to moan, but just really hoping its a faulty card and can be replaced rather than a known trait. I was really looking forward to this new card aswell!!!![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
