RMA doesn't help much on coil whine, , a lot of user feedback that after RMA the card still got coil whine issue, and some review mention that coil whine is not consider faulty. Thing you can do.

- Turn on V-sync in the game, if the game doesn't support then force v-sync enabled in "Nvidia Panel"
- update to latest Bios.
- Testing on other PC
- Testing on higher End PSU
- upgrade motherboard bios
- some user feedback that the coil whine issue will reduce, after performed stress test.
- Reset to default bios and try not to OC CPU.

If still cannot resolve then have to send RMA lor.

For what i am seeing the most value in term of price and performance, seem like Galax Exoc Black Edition, with backplate and the temperature can compare with G1 gaming. anyone want cool, quiet, cheap and performance, can consider this. But i am not sure the coil whine issue and the warranty.
