Question : Problem: My GPU is making a loud noise, is it the PSU or the GPU causing it to make that noise?

Looking for some help or support from anyone else who might have had similar issues.  I have purchased a new GTX295 GPU.  The minimum requirements for power are 680watt.

Im really confused if its an issue with my card or my power supply.

THE NOISE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN PLAYING A GAME IN MULTI GPU MODE.

My PSU is 700w modular, coolermaster brand. It even contained the 8-pin modules for these future graphics card. So i doubt it could be this.  http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-148-CM&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1103

Basically the noise is definately coming from the card itself. The green light is on the card, and i have enough power going through to it for deffo.

But its making a VERY loud noise. Its not even at a bareble level. I can hear it over my headphones very easily at a normal volume lol.

The only other reason i think it might be the PSU, is because i had an SLI setup before i had this card. When i enabled the SLI the same noise was made, but again, it was coming from the cards.

I really cant make sense of it.

Wouldnt make sense to happen on two different cards. Only thing consistant is my PSU.

NOTE : Ive updated the driver, and tried using different styles of connectors on my modular PSU.  But the noise still happens.

Well......

Just an update for everyone.

Its definately to do with the brand of GPU.  My Card was a Zotac GTX295.

Ive had two replacements of them, and they both had the same issue.

Finally the other day, i received my refund, and i decided to go for a BFG.  Ive always usually brought them, but i went along with the same ideal as many, "Well, they all use the same NVIDIA chipsets".  Which is true by any means.  But, regardless,  this card is now working correctly now.  Not even a sound coming from the card other than the fan.  This is in Multi-GPU mode on games where its almost gauranteed to buzzsaw on the other card.
