it's not the temps that really worries me, it's the high pitched buzz.. did you experience the buzz when folding the 6811?
EDIT: you're running the same 460 right? may i ask, what PSU are you using now?
Hmm now that you mention it I do remember getting a buzz when I was trying to o/c the hell out of my card a few weeks back, but I forgot all about it - now I don't have it anymore. Did you try undervolting it to reduce the temps?
If you play games, try a game that stresses the card and see if you get the buzz too?
OK, I just googled it and it appears it is quite apparent in
some cards. Quoting from the ASUS rep :

JayCop,
The hissing or whining noise is coming from the chokes. It is a vibration that occurs when there is heavy heavy load like furmark or in this case folding. All of the 200 series and 400 series i have ran for folding make this noise, Even ATI cards. Most chokes will have some form of vibration, its just a matter of how long the heavy load is to elongate the vibration. Even in games, it will occur, but in game, you will only be in heavy load for a split second, where you may not even notice the noise coming from the GPU

jaycop, MSI actually uses a fully sealed choke so you don't hear the vibration or hissing sound. I wont stop you from buying the MSI card if it accomplishes what you need it to do, but i will also say that just because MSI uses fully sealed chokes and in a folding situation you hear less or no vibrations, doesn't mean the ASUS card is inferior. (not saying you did but for those that may be wondering) there are also many great advantages to the ASUS card like dust proof fans, which we have sealed ball bearing fans to increase fan life. but then again if you go water, that doesn't really matter... very nice heatsink design and the overlocking potential on the ASUS GTX460 is very high compared to many competitors out there. no reference or non reference are ever alike. The Vbios that we have implemented is different to our competitors. so if you you're assuming a GTX460 is the same as any other GTX460, the answer is no, there will always be some difference. even in choke design. Goodluck with your final decision
So it's apparently quite "normal" Mine is gone for now AFAIK...
