nope not fan speed tested its louder depending on the game crysis isnt to bad well when its loading it is and STALKER does it pretty bad as well and while out of game ive ramped the fans up to 100% and then went into the games and still makes the sound

Coil whine is a common issue with 7900 series cards, but results from the build and components. It is not a defect so I'm not sure it is RMA-able. I would give it a try though.
