I noticed today that my card has it slightly and i was wondering if it effect the card its self, if it doesn't its no big problem as with the case closed its impossible to hear but if it does effect it should i take it back and get it replaced?

Edit- I believe it has like a 3 year warranty or something so no big rush to take it back i dont think.

Coil whine is just a nuisance; nothing to be worried about.

Try moving your card to another slot on your mobo, that mitigated the whine on my EVGA 980 Ti.

Performance expert, building noob. 

There is no such thing as excess in hardware.

No, it doesn't affect anything. It's just a thing that happens, more often when you are pushing out really high framerates.

Only time I have had coil whine with my G1 980tis is during benchmarking (at like 200fps+ haha.)

Never happens to me anymore cos I set an FPS cap of 200 system wide using the various GPU programs, eg: MSI Afterburner.

Only when pushing many hundred/thousand FPS does it happen to me, so now its limited to 200fps, its 100% gone.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Might set my sistem to 120 then as my screens only output 60
