I was experimenting with my current 3080 TUF OC that is quite whiny (but not terrible). Running it under high load/framerate and then undervolting down in steps until the whine was greatly reduced. It was possible but then I'd try a different workload and most of the whine was back so it wasn't reliable. Plus also the 50 series is such poor value, not being able to claw that back with an overclock because of coil whine just makes it even worse value.
Coil whine is a pretty annoying topic to discuss tbh as everyone's environment and even hearing is different. Reminds me of input lag disussions. I've seen people describe something as feeling 'good' or 'fine' and then latency was actually measured and turned out to be massive.
