5 months ago i bought the Zotac gtx 770 AMP, it had been really good, maxing out all games i own. About 2 months ago i noticed that the card emitted the following buzzing noise:

This noise didn't occur all the time, and would start up during gaming, sometimes loudly, and then die down after i quit the game. (But it ended up happening on a more common basis but didn't take any effect on the cards performance)
I managed to RMA this card as i pinpointed that it was something on the card itself doing it, but not the fans (As i had stopped the fans whilst it was happening and the noise persisted).
I have had my replacement card of the same type for about 1 month and the same noise is occurring in a much quieter form (I have probably noticed it earlier as i am very conscious of the noises my PC now makes).There is no effects to the performance of the card.
I was wondering, is this some form of coil whine? And should i just put up with it like some people do with the coil whine they get with their cards.
