Hi,

I wrote about my issues with matrix platinum in different topic:

http://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?30001-7970-Matrix-Platinum-safe-mode-all-the-time&country=&...

I'm starting new thread because there is a new issue.
My graphic card is making buzzing sound when in use. When idle it's still behaving normally.

Please advise me, should I RMA the card ?

Accoring to asus m7970p site:
These components are forged under extreme pressure and temperatures to increase reliability, power output, and overall card lifespan while eliminating bothersome choke buzzing noise, unlike much tamer reference cards.

My card returned some time ago from RMA, then I spent some time testing. Safe mode led issue is connected with the CPU voltage, different case and possibly not vga fault. I'm worried because the buzzing sound is still there. In ASUS Poland they did not even bother to test the card properly. Their comment on my case was "TEST OK". Nothing more. Card is still buzzing while on load, changing the frequency of (possibly?) capacitor generated sound while changing load.
