RTX5070 Gainward Phoenix GS

Discussion

Hi guys, just recently built my first pc and installed the 5070 gainward phoenix GS. It’s been about 10 days since I started using my pc and today i started hearing coil whine. Is this normal? My GPU temps seem to be fine floating between 50-65 max while playing baldurs gate 3 on max settings and havent had any stuttering or other issues. I even double checked to make sure its GPU coil whine:

Check #1: When im alt tabbed to the windows screen (off game), my GPU usage goes down to 10% (and slowly going lower) and the noise stops instantly and when i alt tab back into the game the GPU usage goes back up and the noise starts

Check #2: I played with graphics and frame cap. Reduced it all down to lowest settings and capped my frame rate at 60 to see how GPU usage would react and it went down to 20% with noises being a bit less.

I guess because it’s my first pc it worries me. I didn’t have this noise until today. Any thoughts, inputs about this would be highly appreciated and helpful.
