I just got my FTW3 in the mail. when I put it in my pc and booted it up, The Middle fan kept making a rattling noise. It went away when I turned off that fan in Precision XOC Is this something I need to rma it for?

    Make sure there are no cables hitting the fan, this could be a cause.
    Otherwise I would try to see if the middle fan is aligned properly (not hitting the cooling block) and not hitting the shroud around the fan.
     
    If the latter is the case you might need a RMA unfortunately. :/
    Who knows the bearing itself is broken if it isn't hitting anything.

    Thanks, there are no cables hitting the fan. However the noise seems to get fainter every time I run 3dmark at full speed. I feel like it may just be some teething problems that will sort themselves out. I really don't want to rma it since this is an Elite edition card and they will probably send back a standard version.
