Recently my GPU started making this odd grinding noise. I've looked stuff up and I can't really find much on the topic. Any ideas on what I should do?

Sounds like a fan bearing is dying, You could RMA it but that's a lot of effort. There's nothing really wrong with it but when it finally dies you'll lose some cooling potential.

I have a 3 year warranty on the entire PC, so if it does die soon it's not much of a problem.. I just find it odd that it would start doing this now since I only got the thing in November.. I may take it in to Microcenter or something and see if I can get it checked out.
