Annoying noises coming from my GPU.

[Relapse]

Why it does something like that ? It is really annoying and sounds like jet engine or F1 cars.

GPU fan doesn't go to %100, even in %20 it sounds like old mobile phone vibration. Temperatures are normal and it is totally random. It doesn't matter if I play TR 2013 or Bastion or I'm on desktop and GPU is idle. Sometimes it doesn't happen, sometimes it happens.

Edit: I thought it was coming from my CPU, sorry for my mistake. I edited title and description.

My GPU is XFX HD 7950 Core Edition. It is OCed to, 1240/1650 and it can handle temps in %100 usage. In TR, my max temps are 80 C.

Tried to set it back to stock speeds (800/1250) still same. I'm going to clean it.

Edit 2: Cleaned it, still odd noises coming from GPU.

Have you checked your heatsink? It could be full of dust, reducing surface area to cool the cpu. That could be forcing the fan to max out just to maintain normal temperatures.

in bios, it should have a cpu fan pwm speed profile config
set its desired temp to around 75c
low/min to 0, high to 100%

try reinstalling the software, my asus fanxpert software would turn all my fans off every few months and reinstalling the program fixed it, but it kept doing it so I removed the software and just turned on the high performance setting in the bios itself.

Uhm, sorry. That wasn't CPU fan. I tried to stop CPU fan with my finger but noises was there. Then I stopped others. Then I set manuel fan speed for my GPU from Afterburner. It was my GPU and it seems it's fan is dying.

I set it to %20 and it was slow but noises was there. Then I switched it back %100 and noises changed but it wasn't normal sound of %100 fan speed. There was some electrical noise or something like that. Removed afterburner and I set those from CCC. Same results. It doesn't high RPM fan sound, it is something different.

I thought my CPU fan was going to %100 randomly.

Bearing in the GPU cooler maybe then? They can make some pretty funky noises when they start to go, or wobble off axis.

I had similar happen to one of my older cards before and changing the cooler sorted it, though you might have to shop around for one that's compatible with your card. It is possible to find replacements though a lot of people just replace a card at that stage as the dodgy fan could cause heat buildup and damage the thing if it's been running like that a long time, but if it's a good card and still tests ok a new cooler could well be exactly the fix it needs.

My problem is similiar to this one:

Performance and cooling is good but that noise kills me. I sent it back for repair and it will take 20 days for repair. Now, I'm just watching youtube videos with my motherboard's gpu :)
