Unfortunately there isn't much that can be done about coil whine, if your running very high FPS though try enabling V-Sync or a FPS cap which can help prevent that from occurring.

Nice solution, it explains your forum name  :lol:

 

Apparently F@H for a day helps to get rid of it if it's actually coil whine.

and this is if the coil whine is from the GPU and not the MOBO or PSU but seeing iSuckAtEverything is using a 970, it is surely the GPU.

If it's coil whine, then you can try folding for a while, as other people have said. Coil whine isn't a defect but it can be annoying. Working the VRMs seems to mitigate the problem.
