Question Coil whine

[Antic45]

Hello guys.
I have just bought 6750xt strix variant and its got coil whine.
Its not too loud but I hate it, what should I do to fix it because my ears are too sensitive to sounds like that.
I think if I RMA it I will get same problem and I dont know what to do.

Im using Rog Strix 750W Gold power supply... Full rog build so I didnt expect that and now I'm disappointed.

Thing about high pitch noise is it can be tricky to tell the exact location (at least my experience). I'd advice you be sure the coil whine is actually originated from the GPU to avoid rma of a product in good shape.

Yes I double checked and its GPU for sure, but there is no way I'm going to RMA it because seller told me it can take up to two months... I guess I just have to live with that...
What do you think, will it go away after some time and should I max it too 100% and let it sit for couple of hours?

No, it won't

and should I max it too 100% and let it sit for couple of hours?

No effect, unless it's used some kind of thermal glue to keep the windings steady - and I've never seen that being done.

As you may guess, this isn't a problem that will go away by itself anytime soon.

Sooo... What should I do?

Technical modification - probably nothing. The high pitch sound itself may be subdued by covering it with thermal glue - however this can in turn lead to overheating because heat cannot easilly ecape and thus shortening life time and possibly void the warranty.

What to do against the place you purchased it from will strongly depend on your location and thus your rights as a customer.

You can also limit in game FPS, reducing bit by bit until the coil whine becomes tolerable.

Pity it's not new, as an RMA is in order. Most manufaturers will send you a replacemtn.

As suggested, it does not harm you PC in anyway. It's just bloody annoying.

who is the seller and did you try to contact asus for this .

I bought of some reputable guy in my country that I buy from for years but shop that sells to him said they dont do rma for coil whine. I contacted asus but Im still waiting for my answer. Btw GPU is brand new.
