EVGA 3060 ti Crunching Noise - YouTube (can hear at 4s, 9s, and 13 mark)
My pc is mostly dead-silent except for this noise, which sounds like the 5.25 SCSI drive that sat next to one of my first PCs while it was actively accessing. Happens literally all day as the fans kick on & off. I can make it stop by setting a fan curve in Precision X1 that keeps the fans active 24/7, but I'm wondering if anyone else has the same card and can confirm if theirs behaves the same way with the fans left to default/auto?

"Hello Shawn,
Thank you for replying back with the recording of your graphics card. That sounds like it is the 0DB mode our cards come with, it will cause the fans to not spin until it reaches a certain temperature and then again when it reaches a lower temperature it will cause them to turn off depending on your ambient temperature, the sound you hear when they spin up is the motor engaging with the fan which causes no harm to the card. In order to remedy this you can override the 0db with Precision X1 to either be at a constant fan speed or set the card to only spin at a certain temperature so it does not keep turning on and off. If you have any further questions feel free to reach out and we would be happy to assist you further.
Regards,
