I think my power supply it causes coil whine to my gpu , power supply have also coil whine,the weird part is when i shutdown my pc,coil whine it s still there at psu,a little 'zzzzzzz' + when i turn on my power supply from the switch button make a spark half second and that coil whine from gpu it s just when in play games, my core clock mhz is up to 1990+ in games..but my boost clock is 1750.
In rest i don t have any problems,no temperatures,no crash,no black screen.
It's dangerous for my pc ? pls help

16bg ram corsair 3200mzh
mobo gigabyte b450 aorus m

No it can't cause coil whine on a separate device. Are you sure it's a power-related whine and not fan noise?

About a year ago I too thought that I had coil whine with a new video card (Vega 64 in sig). However, after doing some testing, it turned out to be coil whine in my power supply. The new Vega 64 drew much more power in it's overclocked state than my previous card (RX 480) thus causing more stress (and coil whine) in my old BFG 800W. The system is perfectly happy (and quiet) with my RM750x.

I took psu outside i just connect power cable and that 'zzzz' it s still there, but not so loud
 
That's not a loud buzz at all. It's difficult to tell without being there, but that may be normal.

Are you sure that blink when you flip the switch is coming from within the power supply? It looks like it's in the lower compartment (motherboard)? It's difficult to tell though.

With everything working normally, I'm inclined to say don't worry about it. Your power supply is a top rated PSU.
