Coil whine on GTX 1080 Asus ROG Strix advanced

[cab.gs047]

Hello, i have my new PC since one week and the GPU ( GTX 1080 Asus ROG Strix advanced) has a loud coil whine under load.
Can I do something against it like sending it back and get one from MSI or EVGA or do i have to live with it ? Sry for my bad english btw.

I have an EVGA 1080. Over the years, I've had several EVGA cards. Every time I play a STALKER game, it always produces coil whine, on every card. It's never been a problem. I believe coil whine is totally benign and nothing to worry about. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure your PSU is delivering enough power to the videocard, and that it's being cooled well enough. If the noise is just "bothering you" then contact Asus (or Newegg, or wherever you bought it) and see if they'll work with you, to possibly get a more quiet card. But you'll probably still have some whine.

I know that coil whine is normal and my temperatures are always under 70 C in games. My PSU is the Corsair RM650x and I dont think that the GPU is getting not enough power. In games like BF1 or the witcher 3 the whine is really annoying without headphones. I have time until friday to send it back without any reason. I bought it on Mindfactory btw.

If you dont like the coil whine then RMA it.

If for some odd reason ASUS dont want to take it back, you can pick it apart and put some nail polish on the coils. Even if the sound does not go away 100% it will dampen the sound alot.
And yes, it is safe.

650 is enough for that card. They call for quite a lot more power than the card actually uses. I have a Corsair 650 as well

That power supply has enough power no problem their. I would send it back and get this one instead.
