I installed my new graphic card today (GeForce 9800 GT). There was just one problem. The fan was insanely loud. By loud I mean that I had to shut the window because the neighbors could probably hear it. It sounded like the fan was hitting up against the sides or something. Anyway, I thought it was normal and logged into FF14. Within about 5-10 minutes, the fan snapped. Taking it out, I noticed the card was incredibly hot as well and I'm not sure if that was normal or not.
I should note that the graphic card DID actually work. Did I just get unlucky with a defective unit or did I do something wrong in the installation process?
