gtx 970 issue

[hypergod]

Hi i just bought a new gtx 970 and noticed when ever I start up a game my graphics card makes such an annoying loud coil wine. I have never experienced this before with other GPU's in the past. I did some quick research online and saw that I am not the only one to suffer from this issue. Should I get it exchanged or is this normal for these series of cards. I just dont want it to damage my system. even with V-Sync enabled it doesn't change .upon further investigation, I ran furmark and put my ear up to my power supply and it sounds like it is coming from there not my gpu now im even more confused NCIX is a long drive away so i want to make sure i exchange the right product

 

gpu:Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 OC 4GB 7.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card

psu:Corsair CX Series CX750M 750W ATX 12V 80 Plus Bronze Modular Power Supply

This is normal, it will go away after 2-3 months.  It is like breaking in a new pair of shoes.

the CX line of Corsair PSU's are known for whining, but I've heard corsair will replace the PSU if its loud.

It's only loud when playing really demanding games. does this affect the lifespan and stability  of the GPU/PSU?

Just noticed something very odd when stress testing gpu the coil wine would get louder the higher the FPS when i did extreme in furmark and was at 24 fps there was no coil wine. it seams the  more fps the louder it gets but it is clear the sound is coming from the psu.

I would return it, its not odd to get a 970 without coil whine it saves a lot of frustration

Just so I'm not confused when a gpu has coil wine the wine sound would be comming from the gpu not the psu correct?

[Zweihander]

Actually, the PSU can produce a similar sound...

It could be either but it's more likely the card

Ok I will head to ncix I will bring the gpu and psu hopefully they can help me replace the troublemaker
