I recently bought an asus strix 970 looking forward to 'silent gaming'. was greeted with a high pitched sound that iv never heard before.
Should be able to hear it in the video

I don't have that card but according to user account on this forum, many but the people who reviewed the cards has it.

This thread for example - In the comments.

RMA the card if it annoys you, they should accept it.

It seems like Asus is not the only one: [link].
The one in the link above is from MSI GTX 970.

Wow, and I thought _my_ card sounded bad.. yours sounds a lot worse even

And yeah return it, unless you can live with that noise, which you probably can't.

Yeah, the first two EVGA SuperNOVA 750B1 I had, had very bad coil whine.

The first one didn't start till the second day I had the unit. Then I RMA'd it for a second one. That second one was bad too!

So I just refunded the whole thing and got an 850G2.

Coil whine was the most annoying thing to me lol.
