GPU goes 'KRRRRRR..........'

[EHH]

My under warranty GPU goes 'KRRRRRR..........' while gaming, it's silent otherwise.
Should I approach service center ?

Seems like its either coil whine or a bent fan or a wire maybe sticking into the fan. Which card is it? some brands offer on site immediate replacement so you wont have to wait and other are lax with rma claims

zotac.
but it is silent when non-gaming with both fans working.

Zotac has good rma support as far as i know is there an rma center near you?

Fan bearing issue or one of the fan blades might have crackled or about to break.
Remove the gpu and observe it carefully.
Also, if there are wires around them then maybe one of the wires might be touching the fans while spinning, check that.

The "no noise" could also be because of zero rpm mode under low load. Seems like something is touching the blades...

Try performance test
Could be fans making noise above certain rpms
Or could try manual rpm settings if mobo has software

Yeah could be the wires that goes from fan to power connector making noise. OP can also check how coil whine sounds from a youtube video and compare with his noise.

but there is no sound when fans run without gaming.
is there any way / utility to checks fans under various conditions ?

You can use MSI afterburner and set fan speed to fixed and see at which point it started to make noise.

used firestorm + gpuz
one of the fan makes noise above 1900-2000 rpm, other seems ok

Is it the same noise as the one you heard before? The "KRRRRR..." one.

yes

yes

Probably one of the fan going bad (or its power cable touching it). Just get it RMA'ed since its still under warranty.
