Hello! I had coil whine on a GPU (Gigabyte Gtx 1080) and I read that I can lower the sound with a new PSU(Seasonic 750W focus plus). So i bought a new PSU, but I’m afraid to put the GPU back on because I think it will affect the PSU.
So could the GPU affect the PSU to produce coilwhine?

Please help me! ( sorry for my bad english)

It wont hurt the PSU. Im not sure who told you getting a new PSU will get rid of GPU coil whine, but that is unlikely. Coil whine occurs when coils inside the chokes on the GPU PCB hit a resonant frequency and vibrate, this could happen using any PSU.

I didn't buy a new PSU just for the coilwhine, because I know it will not get rid of the entire GPU coilwhine, but i wanted to make an upgrade. Anyway, thank you so much for the answer!
