i bought a used hd 7850 and it makes a noise when it goes under load, it isn't the fan, i changed the fan speed manually and it works just fine, the noise is coming from the gpu itself.

PSU: NZXT 750w 80+
GPU: HD 7850 XFX 2gb

Sounds like coil whine-it's usually a high pitched whistle or 'chirrip' sound that changes pitch with frame rate in games and is usually constant on the desktop.
