R9 290x High Heat when watching Youtube and coil whine

[M4DCRUSH3R]

I have two problems with my R9 290x. So three months in to using it a coil whine started (a buzzing noise when gaming) after a thunderstorm. I eventually RMA'd it and when I got it back it still had a coil whine. I asked the guys at XFX and they said that it may be my power supply because of low wattage so I upgraded it and it still persisted so I am thinking it may be that my motherboard is damaged. Second I have a high heat problem with my GPU, it gets up to 90+ when watching you tube but my fans don't change speeds. I am forced to use MSI Afterburner but I am not sure why this is happening. Does anyone know a solution to this? Has this ever happened to you guys?

I do use the fan graph

Don't worry about the heat problem anymore because I believe that it is the cooler that was causing this as for the coil whine still needs to be fixed.

You can always go with http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/138-kraken-g10-gpu-bracket.html and some great water cooling like http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Series-Edition-Liquid-CW-9060010-WW/dp/B009VV56TY

I don't want to do a closed loop, I rather do a custom loop.

Just run the cooler on 40% - 50% when gaming and 20-30% when idle for best noise/performance and youll be fine with the xfx cooling also..

I may as well just run the cooler as the temp goes up. Noise is not an issue since it will be gone in a while and I rather hear fans the coil whine.

What do you mean gone? how gone?

I will be moving to watercooling so I won't have a loud card anymore but the coil whine is the biggest issue now.

RMA it if you can coil whine is really bad thing..so annyoing.

I did and got a new one but it continued so it can't be that and it was the same noise.
