Just to close the thread.
Received new GPU, boxed, seals intact, delivered by DPD who took the faulty one away
Fitted and all working okay. Thank you PCS for making this a very good experience.
In fairness Currys PC World ' TechKnowHow' the tech and know how is debatable, did advise that...
Cheers chaps, PC World pointed me in the direction of PCS who despatched a new GPU via DPD who'll collect the faulty one at the same time.
Great service by PCS I have to say.
Also registered my warranty with them at the same time.
Hi purchased the PCS Votex ST-S from Currys PC World before Christmas.
Today Fan 2 on the GPU Zotac RTX-3070 twin edge , the smaller one sounds like a bucket of spanners in a tumble dryer very noisy when under load, sounds like its clipping the shroud.
Diagnosed with the Zotac Firestorm...
