I noticed couple weeks ago that my GPU have some weird rattling noise when fans hit 50-59% in some games, but it's random and kinda depends on game itself.
On touch (plastic around fans while fans are working), noise is gone. Sometimes occurs even when I quit game, and gpu fans start to slow down (example from 59% to 45%), but sound stops when they go really low %.
Yet again I can force them to 100% and noise will not be there.
This morning I put my case horizontal, noise didn't occure even once no matter how long I play and what speed fans are set to.
I can think one thing only, that card was bending perhaps (even though it's 2 fans card - Gigabyte). But I see many threads about fans going loose. Only finger on plastic was neutralizing sound completely.
Also, card is in my PC 8 months so far, I didn't heard that noise before, but again it's not really possible to hear it while I have something going on on TV or headphones. Only in quite room and when you know that it's there.
My question is basically: If I keep my case horizontal (I have space, it doesn't look bad and I have some modifications on my mind), is this "permanent solution" ? I would rather leave my case horizontal instead placing something under card as I needed to do earlier when I had 970 (4-5 years ago) and it was bending a lot.
I just want 1-2 years more on this GPU since it's more then enough for my taste in gaming.
Card is never going over 70-71c with target temp on 69c and max fan speed set to 59%, so I don't need to be bothered with airplane/turbine noise lol as it is on auto
