When I run a benchmark or play games, my GPU makes a fairly loud grinding noise at 50 - 60% fan speed. It doesn't make the noise before or after that 50 - 60% mark. The sound stops if I press on the shroud (logo side) but comes back as soon as I let go.

Any ideas on fixes? I'm debating on removing the heatsink/shroud, but I've never disassembled a GPU before.

EVGA said they would do an RMA, but I really don't want to deal with that hassle if it's something I can fix myself.
