Coil whine?

[SmilesRising]

What are you using for your power supply?

sure it's not the PSU ? If it's the GPU, nothing you can do, I had a pair of 970's that were terrible, got lucky with my 1080

EVGA G2 750w

Did you try turning down the volume in Windows(or whatever OS), and turning up the volume on your speakers?

why would that make a difference? i havent tried that

When you turn up the volume in the OS, it is raising the sound levels going to your speakers. Since there is more interference inside your computer than outside, the increased sound levels from the OS will come with more noise.    Keeping the sound levels low in the OS should minimize that noise.  I have had experience with this with my 7850.

i cant really turn up the volume on just my headset. i activated v-sync and the card got a lot quieter..
