Asus 970 coil whine, help

Splinter

I bought a asus strix 970 and had coil whine while playing (tested with different psu and same electrical noises), then I received now a replacement of the same asus strix 970, and with the new GPU have the exactly same coil whine.

 

If anyone had the same card and the witcher 3 or guild wars 2, I would know if you ocurrs the same electrical noise for know if it is normal or not (the sounds were recorded with the phone very near of gpu):

 

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1Rcz2FrjUun >> Witcher 3, from 6-13s, noise in the main menu (with vsync "off", if active vysnc "on" the sound of the first 13 secs turn off) and from 13-26s it is other electrical noise when Im playing ingame (the same noise with vysnc "off" and "on")

 

http://vocaroo.com/i/s1AaExjvU7aF >> Guild wars 2, no noise in the main menu, and the electrical noise begins in second 11 when I'm ingame (same noise with vysnc "on" and "off").

 

And as I said, my another asus gtx 970 has exactly the same noise with both games and I don't know that I must to do, I really want know if it ocurrs in all the asus 970 or not with these games that I tested.

 

I would appreciate any advice or help, thanks.

jesus christ thats bad, my msi 970 has coil whine but only a slight bit, id send that one back and say you want a refund as its the second time this has happened, then get a different brand, the strix isnt that good tbh, get a g1 970.

I've got pretty much exactly the same with my EVGA 970, it's just the norm now I think for cards which is a shame as I spent around £600 creating quiet dual loops for my rig to keep the noise down

Then what should do I? try with other brand? ( the problem is pay taxes and shipping again) or stay with this if the problem is general? more people have these electrical noises with 970 in these games?
