Sapphire Nitro+ AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT OC backplate resonance or defect?

Hi,

i finished my new PC and i must say that this card is the most beatiful card i ever had.

But here comes the question:

The card is dead silent in normal desktop workflow, but when gaming it makes this annoying noise.

You can see in the video that the noise is dramatically reduced when i either squeeze the backplate and card together or remove the backplate.

I think something is vibrating/resonating.

Is this normal or a faulty card and another one should not have this?

Thinking of returning it, but its so beautiful :)
