So, I've gone through 4 980Tis (3 G1 Gaming, 1 Strix), and 2 PSUs, and my card still has a bit of whine to it. I have a SuperFlower Leadex 850W Gold, my Gigabyte G1 Gaming whined a lot with this PSU, after replacing the G1 with a Strix, there is a lot softer whine, however it's still a little bit audible. The person who bought my G1 Gaming claimed there was "no whine whatsoever" and he was using it on a Coolermaster Bronze rated 600W PSU.
Do you think it's the PSU at fault, or even my house's general electric or similar? I tried using a different surge protector with no luck, as well as a different wall socket with no luck. I suppose it's equally possible that my current PSU is causing it to some extent.
I'm thinking about buying a SF 750W Platinum and seeing if that's any better, however the guide on this sub says that even Platinum rated PSUs may still cause whine... I don't think it's necessarily fair to try a PSU and send it back if it doesn't fix the said problem, so I'm not really sure what to do.
