Hi!

I bought a Gigabyte mini-gtx 960 (http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5369#ov) & it's producing coil whine with multiple PSUs & PC's. Please help me picking a new 960 that is (as much as possible) unlikely to produce coil whine. I'm very sensitive to high frequencies..
MSI GTX 960 2GD5T OC (http://www.msi.com/product/vga/GTX-960-2GD5T-OC.html#hero-overview) for example is a unit that I could get at a reasonable price, would that be better?

Thanks in advance!
 
Since coil whine is not a phenomena exclusive to any one manufacturer, I think I would first contact Gigabyte about exchange. While exchange/RMA is at their discretion in the case of coil whine since it doesn't have an effect on normal operation, you might explain that you want to remain a customer but find the noise of the card you have to be unacceptable. They may allow for exchange, it's an option anyway.
