X800PRO Heatsink Making Noise

[n0e5cape]

Hey guys,

When my computer is idling, it is very quiet except for a slight ticking noise. After some inspection, I suspect that it is coming from the heatsink of my X800PRO. Has anyone else experienced this? It isn't loud but at night when all else is quiet, it becomes very annoying.

Is there anything I can do to eliminate the ticking noise?

Thanks in advance.

I would assume that it is the fan on the heatsink rather than the heatsink bobbing off and on the core. I would recommend RMA'ing it as the fan may die soon and you run the risk of burning out your gpu.
