Coil whine usually happens when things small components such as electromagnetic coils aren't soldered properly therefore causing vibration. RMA if you can.

Yes, every time that the PSU it's ON

Yeah if the sound is like this or similar:

Sorry but I do not get what you meant. What problem do you have on your motherboard? What do you mean by the motherboard overcharging the PSU?

Hi guys a few days ago the PSU comes to buzzing and i don't know if this is normal, this the first PSU that i have with this problem, a friend told me that que PSU is overcharger, is true? The buzzing is perceptuble at 2ft.

 

 

I went through this as well. So I got a new PSU. Same thing. When set to high performance mode, it mostly went away...but...you could here it faintly with mouse movement. When I got a new mobo, it went away completely.
