Double post but that crack you guys are hearing is the bond snapping from the paste you guys are using.
The heat generated by GPU and the cold generated and the large shift in temp delta is enough to snap the bond.
I know this becasue i bench at -192 90% of the time, Been through various pastes to find pastes that actually don't freeze which in turn can not crack the bond....
Sounds like some serious heat dump.......takes a 6 core thuban in wprime at 6.3+ to create those circumstances.....
after the crack any loading of the gpu sounds like something boiling under pot doesn't it 
You can verify this, just unbolt pot cold real quick after the crack, don't let it defrost, it will pop right off and not be "stuck" to gpu anymore.

I've got no strings to hold me down.
To make me fret, or make me frown.
I had strings but now I'm free.
There are no strings on me
