x51 r2 came with GPU rattle noise.
I looked through many posts on here but I only see people talking about the CPU fan noise which sounds OK in my case. Since the first time I turn it on, the GPU rattles. It only gets worst when I started a game. The video should be pretty clear. Can any one take a look and offer some solution? Thanks!www.youtube.com/watch

It sounds like a cable is being clipped by the fan. Power off, disconnect the main power cable, remove the GPU cage. Look at the cables beneath where the video card fan would be. Try to move them out of the way. Be sure the video card is secure in the cage, then re-assemble everything. Power on. Re-test.

Do I remove the card from the cage? or just remove the cage? I will try it tonight. Although I dont see any messy cable the last time I examine.

No. Just lift the cage out and push any cabling away from where the fan rest.
