GTS 250 vibrating
Hey all, now and again, my card vibrates and makes an annoying sound whilst
it does so. Let me be clear he it's the card itself and not the fan. If I place my finger on the edge of the card, the vibration stops as the touch absorbs it. I've resorted to putting various objects in the case, leaning against the card but, sooner or later, it starts the noise again. It seems that the object must be placed just so and it will soon vibrate it out of place. Any ideas? Thanks! |

Have your tried cleaning (and possibly lubricating) the fan? If that doesn't work, you could disconnect the fan and try an after-market cooler. |

On newer cards, you'll see 'solid state chokes' that advertise no buzzing or vibration. I doubt there's a fix for your problem besides researching for your next upgrade rms |
