I've had it since December, PSU is a Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 850w bought in January. I do have a spare PSU and another 3080 FE I could try.Is it new? What PSU do you have?
Mine had a similar level of whine including the whining while scrolling, the shop agreed it was loud enough to get it replaced... but I ended up keeping it because the wait for a replacement would have been multiple months. Is it new? What PSU do you have?
The high framrate (low graphics) 3D Mark Night Raid benchmark produced the loudest noise on mine, running that overnight to burn it in eliminated the whine while scrolling. I'd given up fixing it but recently replaced my PSU (RM750 -> RM850x) and surprisingly that eliminated the GPU whine completely even though it was coming directly from the GPU not the PSU.
That’s unbearable.

Sounds like it's being murdered!

if its doing it while scrolling through the web thats hardly killing the psu with power drawLike PaulM has suggested I would make absolutely sure it's the GPU first, I've seen cases where increases in power load cause the PSU to scream. If your previous GPU wasn't as power hungry it might be a factor.

So if you stop the fan with your finger briefly the noise goes away?I've realised I have no coil whine on my 3080 Fe.
It's actually the exhaust fan. It has a slight unexpected noise, it's not scrapping anything, but I think it's the air pushing against the fins.
Note to self, never buy a GPU from Disco.
Completely different 3080FE, this one aircooled.
Still got the buzz but I reckon it is slightly quieter. Will try this card in a different system to see if it buzzes there too.
Unfortunately the watercooled card is in a PITA system to work with. I can't change the PSU without draining the loop. I am switching to a completely different case soon so can test things once that is done.
Yup. That was my exact test.So if you stop the fan with your finger briefly the noise goes away?
