Hey guys, wanted to check if that's just my gpu or this card has in general some sort of coil whine.

I guess I didn't hear it at first, had intel stock cooler, which was pretty noisy. Custom noctua fan solved that.

But I started to hear of my gpu more. I thought that this noise of gpu two fans, but they are pretty quiet. I can't say that noise itself is very high pitch, no. It's basically some mid/low range buzzing. still it's noticeable. Damn, once you hear it, you can't unhear it :-D

also, I that people say that could be some sort of just normal buzzing, so is this normal, and it's considered coil whine?

is coil whine when its doing high pitch noises?

coil whine is a an attribute of any electronic component with inductor (coil) such as GPU or MB or PSU.
usually, you are not supposed to hear it, only under load.
there is no harm in it beside annoyance. if the sound is annoying, you can try to RMA the card, though AFAIK, only EVGA officially accepts RMA on coil whine.
