I bought a Gigabyte RTX 3070 about a month ago and I just noticed an extremely annoying rattling noise at low workloads, ie just on the desktop or while playing older games. Pretty sure its got something to do with the fans, since the noise disappears temporarily when I manually crank up the fan speed for a moment, then let it go back to auto again. I tried playing around a bit with custom fan curves a bit, but the only fix, so to speak, I found was dialing up the fan speed even at low temperatures which kinda seems dumb to me. Anything I can do besides that or should I send the card to get repaired/exchanged?

Double check that nothing is hitting the fan such as a wire or cable.

Is the GPU used or new? If there are no obstructions, then the fan bearing is likely bad. If this is the case, I would definitely RMA for warranty.
Theres nothing hitting the fans, I double and triple checked.

And yes, the GPU is new
