I have a ASUS TUF 3070Ti myself and no coil whine at all. I barely hear the fans.
The card itself is amazing, the fans are indeed barely audiable on the 3080 version as well and the card runs at 62c under full load.
If my supplier won't help I will destroy my card, I have PTSD from this card, I can still hear the coil whine everyhwere I go.
I don't mind some coil whine but this is unacceptable. I can still hear it in another room with the door closed.
verify its the gpu, not the psu or mobo
they also have choke coils that can whine at specific loads
and manually turn the fan speed to different levels see if theres a sweet spot where
it does not whine

i once learned the job "radio & television engineer". the tube tellys have a huge transformer inside, that somtimes began to whine like you gfx board. what can you do: use the "KONTAKT CHEMIE PLASTIK 70" to silence your gfx boards coils. how to? you have to find the whinig coils on the pcb of the card. if this is possible, i dont know, you have to put the spray onto the coils housing...then you have to wait 1 hour or so until the plastic is hardened and repeat this action until the coilwhine is gone. i cant say, if it is possible like it is possible with the transformer in a tube telly. i just wanted to mention this could help you out, but i think, that the action is complicated. i did not ever try this on my own with a gfx board. i just thought, that you maybe could do that, before you throw your 3080 away. if i had such a trouble, i would try the spray. the main problem is to find the whining coils. no risk, no fun. give a try or dont.(i never heard about this. it is just my idea.

edit: maybe forget it...would be better, i guess.

Hi,
I am "lucky" that my wall connections or however you say it in English are attached next to a door. I am somewhat lucky that I could move my pc to the hallway behind the door and a wall.
I still can hear it whine, yes it's bad, but it's a lot better now.
Thanks, this seems very interesting, .... I'm wiling to try this.
Either get it refunded or replaced. You still have the purchase invoice right?
Depending on the graphics card brand, such as EVGA or ASUS are good. Most will probably replace your card if you're getting really severe coil whine. Minor coil whine is however ignored. Yet if you just have purchased that card and noticed it instantly, it's good than enough reason. You should have at least a 30 day window anyways to go back to the computer store itself.
Never had to worry about it until I tried buying a GTX 970. My GTX 1060 borderline does it (interestingly, only under one scenario, and it involves Minecraft of course) but it's very, very, very barely there even in that situation, and not there otherwise.
I was worrying it might be a potential issue given power draw of cards is going up, but I didn't see too much mentions of it, at least not compared to the Maxwell days. Hopefully by time I go to replace this GTX 1060, it's not presenting itself as a big issue.
Also, Asus went on my "do not purchase for GPUs" list I guess if they really don't honor this, but a lot of people say most/all wouldn't honor such a thing. Not even sure if EVGA would still honor such a thing (but they did for me in 2016). I know it might not be a "defect" insofar as intended operation, but when operation of a product causes a by-product so bad that its intended use is rendered unpleasant for some, then it indirectly is for those people. I know this is a subjective thing and probably opens a whole lot of other doors, but as someone else this bothers like it does OP, such a situation truly is a nightmare to deal with.
My thinking is (keep in mind I'm entirely speaking from a place of ignorance here as I'm not at all versed on designs of graphics cards) either so few people should be returning a product over it if it's truly not much of an issue, and those will only be the ones that it really bothers, or enough will that it will really hurt profit margins, in which case it's a bigger problem than manufacturers want to admit, while doing nothing about.
Last time I was in this issue, I gave up on modern GPUs and went with an entry level GPU from a couple generations ago. If I were in OP's sport, I would have went back to the RTX 3070, but maybe I say that because that's already something that would be ludicrously fast for my uses. Glad I don't have the problem where I melt if I'm not getting triple digit frame rates in every game on maximum settings, but that's what makes it sad. Even with less demands and at the mid-range I was still having that issue bad, which makes me wonder, if I went for an RTX 4060 or 4070, would I likely be looking at such issues again? If I do, it's not like there's an entry level card from a couple generations ago sitting on a Best Buy shelf for $70 like last time.
Thank you! I'm going to save this in case it ever proves useful in the future. It certainly would have seven or eight years ago.
Try to enable Vsync and lower some "optional" in-game features.
For example, coil whine isn't a situation that only arises in high frame rate situations (though that's a very prominent one it can occur in). I experienced it in Minecraft on a GTX 970 (one of the fastest GPUs at the time) despite it "only" managing double digit frame rates (sometimes below refresh rate, which was 60) under the conditions I was asking of it. Capping frame rate obviously wouldn't have been an answer there. And, these days it's probably more of an issue with higher refresh rate displays.
That's also ignoring the fact that if you're going to cap your performance, you're sort of limiting your GPU because of a "fault". May as well have gotten a lesser GPU then.
yea the coil whine is so bad that it's even very audiable with vysnc on + undervolt. The whine already start at 60fps and a workload of 25%.
though I might keep the card, my pc is in another room now with the case aimed towards the corner of the room, the walls act like a shockdemper.
Now I cannot hear the coil whine any longer, only if I try really hard. I can still hear the whine when I get about 1000 fps in menus, then the tone changes to a very high screaming pitch.
But it's really sad that coil whine is really really bad with 60 fps capped and an undervolt of .875v at stock clock speed.
I did order a new PSU which arrive tomorrow, a platinum one.... I don't think it will fix the issue.. but I will still post the result here.. it might be helpful for someone that reads this in future with a similar issue and wonder if a different PSU can solve a GPU that's whining.
I had to change the PSU anyway since I used a coolermaster master watt 750 bronze.
