Coil buzzing harmless?

Yes. Coil whine will not effect your product negatively in anyway.

 

I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe some places might not even RMA a card that has whine.

I have an EVGA GTX 1660 Super SC Ultra and while playing games it has some mild coil buzzing. I can't hear it unless I put my ear up to a fan grille on the case so it's not bothering me, and everything is functioning fine. I'm not in a position to RMA or refund. Is this just a harmless noise?
