You had it long mate?

Got my stuff today, there is definitely some coil whine going on but I'm trying to find out whether its the 970 doing it or the PSU - 970 was fine in the old system :<

does your whine all the time or just when you launch a game or something?

 

[Bone9]

Not got one currently but have a Cooler master v850 that has developed coil whine. Mine does it even in the browser when there are lots of images on the screen etc.

I also have a 970 but have a 1080 on preorder.

It took a while for it to do it as it was silent for months when first installed.

I'm asking about the corsair as I have the option to rma my mine for one.

Let me know what you find out. Cheers.

swapped my 970 for an old 560ti from my HTPC and yeah... coil whine. Will RMA it i think!

Let me know if that fixes the whine please mate.

Quick update, ended up with the EVGA P2 850W for an extra £10 and no coil whine
