Hello guys!
Recently i bought myself a GTX 1060 6GB ASUS Strix. The card is performing petty good, but there is a strange noise when it comes to gaming that sounds like and electric buzzing. Instantly after minimize-ing the sound stops. With the last 2 gpu's I haven't noticed such thing, they were r9 380 and gtx 970. With them there was a slight noise coming from the psu but in this case right now it's coming from the gpu. Tried userbenchmark because it produces good amount of frames and the ,,coil whine'' started. Already tried using v-sync is Red Dead for example but the coil whine still exists and it's annoying. The more stressed the card is, the louder sounds it produces, but the fans spin very quiet. In Fortnite capped on 144 i hear it, but on like Red Dead I hear it kinda louder with average of 60 fps with v-sync.

My PC Specs:
I7 4790k
Z97 Extreme4
GTX 1060 Asus Strix 6gb
FSP Raider 650W 80+ Silver
