I've been hearing a lot lately that the 7990 has coil whine. Would this be noticable in a case with headphones on while gaming? Also, would it have coil whine while doing something like watching YouTube, or browsing Amazon, being on Facebook, etc. Also, would the coil whine be only on the reference AMD card design or would other vendors also have the coil whine on theirs?

Thanks in advance

It depends 98% on luck. Some have low coil whine some have none some have it really loud. It's up there in chance with how much oc you will get. It is more likely on high-end cards but you never know. If it is terrible you can usually return it. Check that first.

Coil whine is a phenomena observed in a given situation -- there is not a rule that the HD 7990 will have this issue at regular basis. If you want to buy one go ahead -- in case it starts to coil whine, you can RMA it straight away.
