Noise

"Seeing as how the video card doesn't have a fan, it shouldn't make any noise, but sometimes hardware makes electronic whines."

It actually makes noise! Don`t know if its only the one I got, but it definitely makes a high pitch sound whenever scrolling windows or playing games.

Have you tried unplugging your speakers? Sometimes they pick up weird crosstalk or whatever electronics dudes call it.

Also: that sucks, man, hate to hear that. It's probably covered by the warranty if it's driving you nuts.
