    Just today I noticed a sort of droning whine sound emanating from my PC off and on at fairly regular intervals, and now I can't un-notice it.

    Question GPU fans have become very noisy ?

    I have a zotac GTX 1070 ti. Has been working great until all of a sudden it got very noisy. Seems like it's spinning the fans at full speed. MSI afterburner and firestorm don't do anything when I try to control fan speed. They say the speed is only 37% and temp around 30C.
