It's a year old Sapphire Tech card, so I have to contact them instead. I was told to send the card to have them repair it, but I rather get the fan and replace it on my own. Anyhow, I've decided to stick to this noisy fan for awhile (goes away after 5-10 minutes) until I decide to get something along the lines of a 6870 or 6950, or maybe late next year when they release 32nm GPUs. The 5850 is more than adequate for casual 1080p gaming (latest is Black Ops with maxed out settings).
