One thing to try would be the tension of the fans themselves. Very gently see if you can move them and if they are loose. If they are and you have a small Phillips (crosstip) screw driver, you may try tightening the screws that hold the fan to the heatsink. If the bearings have gone bad underneath, then, you may have to look into an RMA :-/ hopefully it is an easy fix.

Hopefully it is a fix. If you can pull one screw and check it for loctite, that may be an issue if there isn't any. If there isn't, maybe pick some up, just loctite 222 (relatively weak but functional still) so that the screws aren't able to back out.

It may be a good idea to check the visible screws in the shroud as well. I think they are in the 4 corners of the shroud, but I couldn't tell you exactly without looking at my cards, and they are currently 8 thousands miles away :-(.. Stupid vacations interfering with helping.

Hello deadlyalive, I just sent you an email response regarding this situation.

Oh man, very sad right now. So as suggested by Scarlett I purchased some loctite 222 to secure the screws and the noise was gone. So today I took the fan off to replace the thermal grease cuz my temps were shooting towards the 80s playing d3. The second I flipped the card a piece of plastic fell off. I didn't know where it came from at first and I checked the plastic assembly for any knicks but didn't find any. I put it aside and continued with cleaning. After I finished the card I moved on to the heatsink. It was fine when I lifted it over the first time, but when I lifted it up to clear the table for the card to apply grease, a bigger piece fell off and the left fan was dangling! The arms used to secure the fans broke off! All 3 of them! I'm sure I didn't apply too much force when I was applying the loctite earlier. I know better to never apply too much force when dealing with computers components. Is this covered by warranty? Of all the EVGA cards I owned, this has never happened.
