Why does DW make my video card squeal?

A few things that may be worth noting from me, as I also use an X800XT card.

One: I dont get a squealing from the vid-card when I play ANY games, even DW.

Two: My vid-card is liquid cooled. No on-card fan is present.

Three: ATI cards can, and will, change fan RPM's when air cooled to maintain temperature.

So, perhaps it is a combination of a junk stock fan, and the card keeping itself cool (or trying to)?
