are you able to record the noise?  Fans should not make any grinding noise.
Do you feel any resistance if you try to move them slowly by hand?

Alright, I will be around. Keep me updated 🙂
Sounds like you might have to RMA if there is a factory defect on the card.

Good news are that its not the gpu that makes the noice, and that are not Fans, its something else, i got a System power 9 600w bequiet psu, is that enought, (i got 32gb RAM and a amd ryzen 5 4600g, do i need more Power?) And im looking from where the Sound Came, it was a scray Sound a pc Player does not want to hear, 

The Sound starten when i startet a game

600w is enough 🙂

What you can be experiencing is something called CoilWhine.

This is a high pitched noise that happens when a graphics card is under load like in a game, it can also change pitch / noise depending on high much FPS is being produced.

 

Does it sound like this?

If yes, this is completely harmless. Coilwhine is just power going through transistors / coils and making them vibrate.
Coilwhine is not dangerous in any way and does not affect the lifespan of the product.

PSU's, GPU's, Motherboards and monitors can have coilwhine... Its just annoying but its not dangerous

Unfortunately it does not.

It CAN get better over time but the chances of that are so low I would just say no, it does not.
