Graphics Card broken or bad

[epicpants]

I got a VTX R9 280 X-Edition and it get somehow audible under the load of BF3 on medium and higher settings and after and raptr on ultra and lower resolution I can hear through the whole apartment (while doors between rooms closed). On 100% (turned up via catalyst) fan speed I can't differ it from my vacuum but it still is hotter then 40°C (~100°F)(on actually idle after gaming while turned the fan to 100% for more then a view seconds). Now it starts to randomly just show nothing for a half second while checking mail or play games.

So the question is getting sent the card back because its broken or is that card just terrible?

Also getting a refund or getting it repaired/exchanged ?

Is it dirty?

40*C is a perfectly normal load temp, don't worry unless it goes over 80*C

The AMD GPUs will get up to about 92*C before problems begin to arise. 40*C is a wonderful temp to get under load, hell, my 260X (not a very power hungry card) gets up to 65*C while playing GTA V
