Coil While on 4070Ti

So, I finally decided to get a GPU which turned up 8 days ago.

My PC specs are

I7 9700K
32GB of ram
be quiet straight power 11 650w (cables used are the original ones supplied with the PSU and bought in April 2019)
Dell S2721DFG 165hz monitor.
Zotac Gaming 4070Ti
Gigabyte Z390 Gaming 3 mobo
Corsair 4000D Case

I have tried the following to try and reduce it.

- Lowering down the FPS cap from 165 to 144 - no difference (G sync enabled)
- under volt the gpu to 0.900V with a clock speed of 2610mhz (If left alone it boosts to 2790nhz at 1.1v used Afterburner for this)
- Tested is Div 2 benchmark and Cyberpunk, same issues on both (in game and on menus)
- Made sure all GPU cables are secure, I fitted the adaptor cable that came with the GPU before I installed the card to make sure its clicked in to place. Cable has plenty of room and not pressed up against the side of the case. I have 2 x 8 pin cables coming from PCIE 1 and the other from PCIE 2 so not daisy chained from 1 cable but 2 separate cables from the PSU
- Tried the GPU in another PC (16GB ram, AMD 3600, Corsair 430M PSU, Gigabyte mobo) and this had no issues.

After trying the above I swapped out the Power 11 with the Corsair 430M PSU (this PSU is about 6/7 years old) and this also had no coil whine. I was not expecting the gpu to work with this due to the low wattage but it did for the 15 mins or so I used it for testing

Before I had the 4070Ti I had a 2070S with no issues at all but this went to my son after the AMD R9 390 GPU decided to die in his PC.

Is there anything else I can try? I guess my options are to send back the GPU or buy a better quality PSU but my fear is if I buy a better quality PSU it will not resolve the issue.
