    gpu issue

    hello guys

    i have a sapphire vapor x 7950 gpu which starting making buzzing noise when i am playing games or when its under load , normally it does not make that sound but duing gaming it starts doing that. so i took it out to clear it etc to see if it wasnt coz of dust , and after i was done i tried it again and it still does that , can anyone point me to what could be the issue?

    also it had 2x 6 pin sockets and i got 1x 4 pin + 1x 4+2 pin cable , and i forgot how they were does it need to be in specific socket ? coz i dunno if it does and how it should be ? or as long as they are both plugged in its ok?

    thanks

    Plug your 4+2 on the right, your 6+2 on the left.

    I'm not sure, which power supply you got?

    Oright then.

    Your PCIE 6 pin cable should be on the right.
    Your PCIE 6+2 pin should be on the left.
