A couple things can work:

1. If it makes the whine at idle, it's because of the core clock speed and the voltage. Try running a game and see if the whine goes away, if it does, just tweak the idle clocks if that bugs you enough.

2. If it still whines while gaming, it could be because it is trying to send frames too quickly (too many fps) and I know this sounds like bullcrap, but it isn't. I've got a 980 that runs certain games way above 60 fps. After noticing the whine on my card, I set the fps target to 60 (this lets it fluctuate as long as it hits 60 at least) or you can cap it at 60 (which means it can't go above that number at all) and the whine stopped.

3. Is it running hot? How are the fans? Are the voltages optimized? Look for small things to test to see if it changes anything.

Edit-

4. That game showed 59hz, can this be set to 60? And is v-sync on or off? Try Nvidia settings on the Nvidia control panel and cap the fps at 60.

its not happening idle and below 60fps it just happened when im close the v-sync at gta i cant hear while the case closed but im scared of this noise will be higher after 5-6 months

Set your in game settings to monitor hertz : 60 and turn on v-sync, then minimize the game and right click the desktop and select Nvidia control panel> manage 3d settings > click the tab that says program settings and scroll down the list, find the game and set the "maximum pre-rendered frames to 60.

It won't hurt your card, but if it bugs you and you can return it/RMA it if they let you. Coil whine is just annoying, it won't hurt the card. Usually customizing settings for each program will make it quiet, but it does suck. GL
