I recently bought a new MSI Gaming 1080 from OCUK. My previous card was a 970 ironically that had 0 coil whine. However when I paired up my new 1080 with my system I seem to be getting coil whine in games like World of Warcraft. I have tried capping the FPS at 144/120/90/70/60 in multiple games but they all give some sort of coil whine. Now the question is that could my Seasonic X-650 be the source of this coil whine, the PSU itself is about 6 years old and has been my mainstay PSU for the entire time.
 
Yeah gonna buy a new PSU and compare, been looking to update anyway. It's sad about the coil whine on the GPU's, I would gladly pay an extra premium if someone sold cards that were certified free of coil whine
