Hi guys,
I recently won a competition here for one of those awesome looking r9 280's which i received today ( yippie ) but after installing in my asus ranger and booted the system i immediately noticed a weird buzzing/whining coming from the card even during POST.
The system is only running a corsair rm 550 so im not 100% if the suspect sound is due to the vrm's not getting enough juice or if it is just good ole coil whine.
I really do hope it is not coil whine as it is extremely loud once in a game even through my sound proofed case.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
*Edit*
Just noticed some severe frame drops in game after only a few mins of playtime also.
