I removed the serial sticker off of my video card like an idiot, first time buying parts and building, and it looked like a label for the card, so I peeled it off and stuck it on the manual. Which voided the warranty. Now I need to figure out how to fix the nasty coil whine I'm getting, because I can't just RMA the card. The card is an XFX Radeon R9 270X.

Any tried and true methods? I've tried to reduce FPS , which worked on one game, and only that one game. Also I'd rather not nerf the performance of an expensive component like that.

No posts calling me stupid, I'm beating myself up about it already, no need to rub it in.
