Hello, i just bought a Zotac 970 gtx, the edition with only 1 fan/cooler. And the fan is making a buzzing noise, im just wondering if this is going to go away or if i should RMA it or something, its quite noisy and i dont think it should sound like this, the card so far works perfectly, just that its noisy.
 
well if i were you i would first check if theres something touching the fan when its in the computer. Check if you might have a cable in the computer touching it. If you cant find anything of that sort then remove the card and take a look.

If nothing seems to be in the way then send it for RMA. but i have a feeling its probably a cable coming in contact with it
 
I already did that, nothing is touching it, i even checked the fan to see if its off balance or something, and nothing there either. I have been using it for like 2-3 hours, im hoping it will go away if i use it a few days,
