Not a long time ago I build a gaming PC and put a lot of affords so it would be quiet but one thing ruined it for me and it's called COIL WHINE. I was pretty sure that when you pay premium price for a product you get one, it's really hard for me to understand how it happens when you pay premium. I find out what coil whine is not long ago and I can't stand it, it makes my ears ring.
HOW A NEW HIGH END GPU HAS SUCH A POOR ISSUE?!
Well I returned my GTX 1080 back and waited for a replacement ( FOR ABOUT A MONTH ). I got a brand new one from EVGA and installed, maybe I forgot how coil whine sound like or I was to afraid to check by closing everything in the room. Yesterday I did heard the familiar and so annoying sound again and clear this time, I was devastated. I read a lot of forums and some people said that they fix that by getting a new PSU, so today I got a new one and guess what? NOTHING. Same old story with the same annoying instruments, I heard that motherboard can cause a coil whine too but I don't think I would go that far. I kinda lost hope and I don't really know what to do next.

I replaced Antec TC750C with Corsair RM750x
 
Unfortunately Coil whine is sometimes unavoidable, And most if not all card manufactures don't RMA cards unless they coil whine over a certain decibel level, As you mentioned at the end you changed the power supply which *can* help but not always, if i were you i try for another RMA or try and work something out with the retailer for a different brand GTX 1080. You're just having a bit of bad luck atm.
 


Maybe I will try another RMA, I just kinda tired to wait every time but I guess that better than having a coil whine, it just seems to me like all of them have it.
I can see that you have the exact same GPU, no coil whine at all?
 
+DIMILLIONE Return the 2nd EVGA GTX 1080 and purchase another supplier. Normally the MSI GTX 1080 Gaming X would be my choice for a 1080 but I've some read NewEgg customer reviews mentioning coil whine. You should read the reviews to see what odds are of getting a coin whine producing GPU from another vendor.
 


No coil whine but even then my fan speeds are set to 100% so its loud either way, its summer where i live atm so i need to have the fan speeds turned up.
