Just started happening like 5 mins ago. It's on the default auto speed, and the sounds is pretty annoying. Is this early signs of fan failure?
 
Yes, that's a dead giveaway that the fans bearing is going bad and that the fan is dying.
How long it will take the fan to die is impossible to say, it could be tomorrow, it could be 6 months from now, but it will happen.
 
Don't game on it, if it fails until full load your card will cook even with throttling.
 
Thanks. Looks like I gotta go buy a new card in the mean time.
