Sudden coil whine?

[Pringles]

Hey,

 

I installed some new fans for my radiator today, and I had to remove my graphics card to get some space for my screwdriver. I plugged it back in once I was done, and after some hours of playing CS:GO, I suddenly get this VERY loud coil whine. I'm sure it's from my grapics card, because if I close the game, it stops - if I open it, it starts immediately. 

 

I know coil whine's are pretty common nowadays, but can it be my fault? Power connector wrong way etc? I have never had this problem before, and was so happy with it. It seriously sounds like it's going to blow up.  :lol:

 

Graphics card: Strix GTX 970

it could be power supply getting too much power draw listen for where it is coming from

I had some coil whine from my PSU, but now it's the graphics card. I doubt it's too much power usage, I have an EVGA 750W G2 (Gold 80+) - hope I got that correct. 

 

Intel i7-4790K @ 4,8GHz

GTX 970

 

These are the main factors that uses most of the power, and I'm thinking it isn't even near 750W?

It's a very common complaint for the Strix card.

This happened to me on one of my old cards XFX 7970's  it was perfect, i took it out to do some cable management, put it back in and bam coil whine.

Its just vibrations so tbh, if you jarred something lose while moving it around, yes it could be your fault, But it happens oh well.
