Hey folks,
Bit over a month ago, I bought an EVGA GTX 1080 FE, and it's been running flawlessly.
Have played both Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 with no hitches, among others.
Then, when Deus Ex Mankind Divided released, I played that, too, and things were running fine there aswell - 60 - 70 FPS at Very High settings.
However, last night I noticed slight flickering on some textures during conversations in Deus Ex MD (might always have been there), so exited and checked after I verified it wasn't just the lighting in-game, and noticed that my GPU had reached 87°C for the first time (usually reaches 83°C max). I started Deus Ex up again, and I noticed my GPU was making a whirring, slightly high-pitched sound.
Checked around afterward, and I can only hear it in Deus Ex and Witcher 3 - not Fallout 4, Planetside 2, or No Man's Sky.
I was under the impression that it would be present all the time if it had coil whine, and find it a bit odd that I hadn't noticed it up until then. Granted, it's not super audible even at the worst of times - so I might just have been ignorant of it up until now.
So I'm left wondering, does that sound like the noise being due to coil whine? - the audio print is somewhat akin to the sound a television might produce, just for reference.
Is it possible it's only caused under certain conditions?
If so, I reckon there's not much I can do about it - correct - other than try to avoid those conditions? ;o
Edit:
Did a quick test in Deus Ex - the sound remains even if I set the overall quality to "Low", BUT, only as long as the FPS is unlocked (going at 170FPS), when I lock it to 60FPS the noise disappears. Still a bit odd that it only occurs in Deus Ex and Witcher 3, though. :S
In actuality, it seems to not be present so long as the FPS is locked at 60, regardless of settings.
For reference, No Man's Sky wasn't locked at a certain FPS setting, and did not produce the noise.

should help with coil whine/temps
