I wouldn't run anything stressful on the GPU. If you're just in Windows or whatever there shouldn't really be anything that'd cause the GPU to spike and draw more power.

Hey all I just got upgraded to a 3080 TUF and a used cx750m PSU to run it... But I've never heard coil whine THIS bad before I know that GPUs and PSUs whine that's pretty normal but this is so much I don't dare let it run more the 5 mins... So is this save to use? Here is a video of the PSU https://streamable.com/1fbwri (don't mind the cables I'm still building lol)

Coil whine is 100% safe for the cpu and gpu. It's only problem is the user perception of the whine.

Yeah I read on this forum and other that it's fine but when it's so loud that you can almost hear it in the next room it feels like a fire hazard

I'd spend the money on a better PSU, not necessarily because that one's a hazard, but I wouldn't consider it fit for task with a high end, power hungry card like that.
