With the fan working harder it is spinning at higher RPMs and just like your car's engine, higher RPMs means more noise. 99% certain that's where your noise issue is coming from.


I am thinking of change the heatsink of the new card for the old one that didn had any fan... ehehehe. Apart from this, I like the new machine!
