My graphics card (msi Geforce RTX 2070 Gaming Z) is making a stange little noise (Ithink It's called coil whine). I removed my graphics card from my pc and I put it back into the box without the antistatic bag and I left it in for 14 days in a cold room (temperatures 7c°- 13c°) after I came back from holidays it was making that noise.It

is not to loud just a little noise. And my question here is what happened ? Will the coin whine be gone ? What can I do ?

Make sure it's your GPU and not your PSU.
I went from an old RX 480 to a Vega 64 a while back. After install and benching/gaming a bit I noticed some coil whine. I would've sworn that it was coming from the card but it turned out to be my PSU. It was the extra load the Vega 64 put on my old PSU (above and beyond what my RX 480 could draw).
With the side of the case off, grab an old cardboard tube from a paper towel roll. Put one end of the tube up to your ear and move the other end of the tube around to your components (without touching them, of course) to verify the source.
As @Grobe said, you can't easily get rid of coil whine and CAN easily damage your card if you try. The good news is that, if it is JUST coil whine, your card...
