Hi guys,
So my new Vortex III just arrived this morning, been waiting for a bit but it was worth it
Only prob is i just got it running and was about to install new drivers/updates etc and i noticed this strange sound,
its like every 15-20 seconds, sounds like its coming from a hdd?
Sounds a bit like something is stuck and makes a short grinding noise..
Anyone experienced something similar or know what it could be?
