Should settle with a little noise from my video card?

I just got a new Gigabyte GTX 770 graphics card and installed it in my computer. During game play, there is an audible squealing/whining noise that is caused by the fans on the graphics card as they increase in speed. The fans do not appear to be hitting anything upon close inspection.

I would like to know if I should just live with this noise(It really isn't that bad, I just want my graphics card to be 100% perfect if I'm paying $330 for it), or if I need to go ahead and order and wait for a replacement while I still can.

you could either try to Overclock or overvolt you card, or even underclock or undervolt to change how the power is delivered and that could sometimes stop the whine

Are you 100% positive its coming from the fans? Because a squealing noise is commonly "coil whine", coil whine usually happens on a GPU when you get very high fps and sometimes it causes a sort of a squeal, or whine.

[strike]I don't know if it was the wisest thing to do, but while it was whining I stopped one of the fans with my finger and the noise subsided. So I am pretty sure it is the fans.
[/strike]

Ok, I repeated the process and I was totally wrong. How should I handle this coil whine?

honestly, i would call back the company and get a replacement if you still have a warranty, because you might have a faulty fan...
