coil whine 4070ti Gigabyte Aero

Its normal for any gpu to whine at this point I think, I find it's more load related then fps, it could "possibly" be another component causing it but highly unlikely.
Have you tried an undervolt? that sorted all whine problems on any card I have ever owned apart from the 4090, maybe too many volts running through it not sure.
My 4090 will whine all the way down to 40fps, even with an under-volt and power limit, pretty depressing.

What I have noticed is that it has a grinding sound more than a high-pitched noise only when it hit the max core clock. It is a bit annoying as it boosts to the max core clock when out of NPC or vendors menus for a few seconds till the core drops as I run it in power management mode normal.
Could be a fan rubbing against a wire.
out of question as it does only when gpu clocks are maxed.
Fan bearing? May only do it at max clocks as that is when the fans spin up most. Trying sticking your finger on the centre of each fan to stop it (when you've reproduced the noise) to see it that's the grinding.
I've had this on both graphics card fans (Gainward) and case fans (Silentwings, Coolermaster) in the past.
the fans don't spin when it does the grind sound. It does it regardless of whether the fans are spinning or not.
It's coil whine. You can try leaving something like heaven or valley benchmark running on a stupidly high fps scene for a few hours (never worked for me but people always said it worked for them) but apart from that nothing you can do. Coil whine can come from anything, shops will tell you it's your psu or something on your motherboard and even if they find coil whine in their testing they say its just how pc components work... only way around them telling you this is by having all the bestmost expensive parts because ethat what they test with.

RMA it coil whine is not acceptable. Send it back for a replacement.that's how it sounds.

And i can hear it from 10m away.
Is there any Gigabyte rep on forums?
How do you have the power cable connected to the PSU to the GPU?
I have a 4070Ti which had bad coil whine and the issue was down to how I had the GPU power cable connected to the PSU.
As my PSU is modular I had the power cable running from 1 x GPU connecter on the PSU to the cable provided with the 4070Ti which then went to the GPU.
In the end I got another PSU to GPU cable (was in the box the PSU came in) and had 2 x cables running from the PSU to the 4070Ti cable and this did reduce the coil whine.
I still got some but cannot hear it at all with the side panel on here I could before.
