970 Coil Whine

[Shable]

As of recently i have been experiencing some coil whine on my gigabyte g1 gaming 970. But it is only in things like 3Dmark cloud gate that are pre loaded. I haven't been able to hear coil whine while actually playing a game. Can anyone explain this to me. Why would it only happen in tasks like that?

Coil whine seems to get louder the higher the FPS is. Same problem i'm having with my Zotac GTX 970

If youre putting a lot of load on you gpu it will surely screamm like some PSUS also does. LOADing it makes the fan to rattle the coils in the Cooler itself and creating that whine. Since it does not occur on games is perfectly fine and youre lucky it doenst occur when your gaming.
