So i have this HD 6970 that is determined to sound its built in low power alarm at all times, I've tried it on 2 different psus and to different mobo/cpus. Although the card seems to think it has low power for some reason, I am sure it does not. I am running it on a thermaltake 1000 watt gold psu, and a corsair 800 watt silver psu. The card functions normally and will pass benchmarks and play games with no problems. It just continuously emits this obnoxious alarm anytime its powered on. PLZ HELP. can I remove the alarm manually? will it damage the board? thx in advance

I would open it up, find the alarm and disconnect if possible.

So I know its receiving power from both the 6 and 8 pin connectors as well as the motherboard slot, if you disconnect either of the two external connectors the card doesn't show video, and if i disconnect both the fan will spin with no video. Is it possible for a alarm to be "stuck on"? and if I were to take it off would it damage anything?
