MSI 6800GT Fan

Does anyone who has the MSI NX6800GT get a high pitched whine when you turn the fan to its lowest setting?

some people make high pitched whines when they cant get it to overclock as high as they want it to.

sorry dont have an msi, but none of my pny gts or bfg gts did that

Well, the MSI 6800GT has a non-reference fan. It's high pitched sound goes away when I run the fan on high (the sound isn't just covered up) Does anyone else have the MSI NX6800GT?

sorry don't have that, there are lots of better brands to choose besides MSI.

I kinda got stuck with them, I ordered an Evga card from gameve.com (they suck) that was "in stock." but it actually wasnt and they never shipped it too me even though they sent me an e-mail saying "shipped." I after a week w/out know what happened, I called them and managed to replace it with the MSI, which was the only one that was the same price and in stock.

ive heard of someone else with your issue, so maybe you arent alone.
fix=put it on higher speed?

The lowest speed is "Normal" (which has the whine) which is about the same loudness as other cards. The only other setting is "Turbo" and if you heard it, you'd probably want to run it on normal if you have a semi-quiet computer.

1. It's fairly expensive
2. I don't want to go through the trouble of installing it
3. I heard it has a lot of problems with some 6800GT's where it doesn't touch with GPU or the RAM.
