Gigabyte 1070 G1 Gaming - odd noise in slow waves?

[Xandos]

Hey all,

So when the GPU is working away, sure, the fans spin up and they aren't quiet. However, there is an 'extra' noise. It waves in and out with a 'wavelength' of anywhere between 2-10s, it sounds like a bit of a grindy/vibratey/square-saw synth thing, it's difficult to describe.

Is this something anyone could shed some light on?

I've never got an aftermarket cooler for a GPU before, though given that I push this card quite hard I'm beginning to consider it - any cheapish but worthwhile recommendations about that?

Thanks for reading!

Coil whine most likely.

I'd look up what coil whine sounds like as it could be your culprit.
