New GPU fan makes buzzing noise

[HypeTrains]

I just this week got a 1660ti, and the first day I had it it ran smooth with no issues.  However the next morning the right fan started making a buzzing sound, like there was a piece of paper being put into the fan.  Is this bad? Should I RMA the card?  My temps don't exceed the mid 70s anyways.

Seeing that this can be a reoccurring problem throughout the graphics card enthusiast community you are most likely experiencing coil whine. I would recommend to RMA the card.

My card had that problem when I first got it.  It was striking either the LED cable or the fan cable.  If you can push a cable out of the way then that should solve it for you.

If you find this to be the cause of the problem use some E-tape to hold the cable because vibrations will probably have it come lose again,

I just ran heaven for about 5 minutes and got the card to the mid to high 60s and as soon as it hit 70% on the fan speed then it started making the noise.  But it is definitely not coil whine, something is definitely rubbing.  I am going to RMA it later today I guess.

I recommend that option!
