What does it mean when in Nvidia Control Panel, my system fan speed = 32000 rpm? There is also a buzzing monotone frequency noise coming from my case...

Yea I think that the mobo isn't reporting the fan speed correctly, or reading the fan speed correctly :lol:.

And the buzzing noise could be from the fans rattling slightly. which reverberates through the case. Not 100% sure on that one.

As far as I know it shouldn't harm anything.

Could it be my new graphics card? I put in an XFX 8600 GT XXX, do you think something is wrong with the fan? I'm asking, because usually when my 360 started buzzing I would get paranoid, because of all the horror stories...

How high pitched is the buzzing?

I have a very slight high pitched buzzing in my case, but I'm pretty sure it's coming from the top fan, which just slots into the case, and doesn't get screwed in or anything.

Well, it's not high, but it's noticable. However, when I put my headset on I can barely notice it, and it's faint. I just want to know if anything is technically okay. If it's just a matter of vibration frequency, then that's fine.
