Hey guys. Just returned my 4850 x2 for a Diamond 4870 x2. Figured I might as well blow it out. Anyway, upon opening the box I noticed a few of the black "pins" (which I assume are part of the heatsink) are missing. I didn't think a big deal of it, but when installing the card and loading up 3D Mark 06 I noticed a shrill buzzing/squealing sound emanating from the card under heavy load.
So, should I return the card and try again? Or is my PSU about to catch fire under load?
