To start off I have to say I don't know much about how coil whine sounds, since this is my first build.

My Gigabyte 980 Ti makes a buzzing noise when the fans go over about 90%, sitting on my desk the sound is audible but moving my head under the table I can't hear it anymore, I opened the side panel of my H440 and I get the same sound as when I was above my desk.

Note that I haven't run the gpu at all yet, haven't ever benchmarked it or played any games on it yet.

Listening to other coil whine videos on YouTube I noticed that the buzzing noise isn't very similar to the whining noise in videos, I'll try to post a video on YouTube and link you guys to it...
 
Solution
Sometimes when they ramp up they can make a buzzing sound , my son has an ASUS card that does this , but not real loud.

Personally it would drive me crazy , My MSI 970 is not loud at all.

Then the real question is that are the fans supposed to buzz like that.
Are you implying the fan has a problem or it's supposed to make that noise, if the latter then that's pretty annoying.

So it's not something to RMA or worry about right?
