So I was very happy with the EVGA gtx 970 superclocked, but it makes so much coil whine that I'm going to have to do an RMA. Now I plan to get another gtx 970, maybe from Asus or MSI, but I want to get one that has the least coil whine. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, does coil whine disappear over time? I heard that the more you use the GPU the less coil whine there will be in the future.

According to this site http://www.computerbase.de/2014-10/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-test-roundup-vergleich/4/ you're good with the Asus, Gigabyte, Msi and Zotac Omega/Extreme Edition. In the Video on the bottom of the site you can hear the coil whining of all those cards

All Tech website (for some strange reason...................) are keeping well quiet about Coil Whine issues with 970!

MSI has quite a lot of problems with Coil Whine but also with Fans not spinning or spinning 100% at all time...

I would personally wait before buying a 970 and "try your luck" as this shouldn't be the case

Looks like the two higher end Zotac cards are the best where coil whine/chirp is concerned.

It may be because they sold less cards than MSI or Gigabyte... Galaxy is the same not many reported but then again, how many have they sold? The blower one looks pretty and it seems to cool very well especially in mini-ITX builds.

Can you please specify which Gigabyte card it is, also can I ask why you happen to have had both? Im thinking of buying the MSI, but noise is very important in my decision making. Thanks for any answers in advance, jrydland@gmail.com
