Hello i have a new MSI 4060 Ventus OC GPU which works fine, temps included.

Sometimes when gaming i get a weird sound, it doesnt always happen but only some games seems to trigger it. Also running graphical benchmark like superposition doesnt trigger the sound even if the fans spin pretty fast. Im 100% sure its not coil whine since i got this sound while putting the fans at 100% and back to 0 with msi afterburned while on idle.

This is how it sounds like.

Someone knows whats casuing this? Does it sounds like the fans bearing are bad or maybe its the gpu bracket vibrating? Its pretty loud when it happens.

I hope someone can recognize the issue from the sound.
TY

It is the only company that has a problem with its fans.
This happens when the card starts up and heats up, so adjust the fan speeds and you'll be a little better

ok, So its a common issues with msi cards? Someone told me that i should RMA the card since this sounds like bad fan bearing. But i think that they wil not accept it since it doesnt always happen. It does happen mostly when the fan change speed but not always.

For example i changed the speeds to 100% and then 0% and got the sound tried 2 3 times more and it sounded fine. Its really weird and annoying

Yes, if the noise is not corrected, you will have RMA
First do what I told you and if you can improve the airflow in the case you have
if you can, upload a photo so we can better see how it is in there
