Help with MSI R9 280X!

[Snucks]

Alright so I got a new msi r9 280x I feel like it's running fine, but when I run benchtest (3dmark) and in games like dayz and cs go I get this whine coming from my card, is this normal should I rma? My frame rates are not going over 80 and I am not overclocking anything yet as I am still new to that. I don't know what to do... help.

If it sounds really loud I think there's something wrong indeed. But... what are your system specs? If you're running only 2 or 4GB ram, or have a quite slow processor, that also could be the source of the problems.

Well it's a new comp.
I5 4690k
Corsair cx600m psu
8gb 2133mhz team Vulcan ram
Nothing is overclocked, I mean it's louder than my fans... and I have 4

Normally, a GPU makes a little bit more noise than the other fans in the system, simply because they're smaller. But this indeed does look strange. CS: GO uses quite an old gaming engine and should not stress your PC that much. To be certain, I'd remove the card and try with another one (or onboard GPU/APU) whether the noise disappears. Check if the fan is moving normally, sometimes you can fix it manually. Also: check your temperatures with the tool from the GPU manufacturer. MSI? Asus? Sapphire?

Else, it will be RMA indeed...

Everything works fine but the noise. The fans look like they are running nice
