Hi there,

I have recently naught a saphire r9 280x, whilst benchmarking and playing games on it last night, I noticed a low pitched squeal, should I use my warranty, is this bad, I think but don't know for sure that it's a coil or capacitor squeal

If it bothers you then I am fairly sure that you can RMA based off coil whine. Contact who ever you bought it off to see if they'll allow it.

Sometimes coil whine disappears when you use a different PSU - if you have one about it might fix the problem.
