I'm at a point where I can't even believe how unreal my situation is...
Bought 3 x Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti, 2 with stock coolers and one G1 Gaming. All of them produced coil whine to a certain degree in games, GTA V and Elite: Dangerous were the worst cases. Some games adaptive sync can get rid of it, but not these two games. Actually it's kind of in between electronic buzzing and coil whine.
I even tested all 3 graphics cards in two different PC's, both X99 systems, both ASUS motherboards, but different models. Also the PSU's are EVGA and Coolermaster, and have run with GTX 780 Ti's without producing any coil whine in games (with the exception of when hitting 2000+ FPS in game menus).
Now it turns out my old GTX 680 also has a slight buzz in GTA V, I guess this game just tortures graphics cards. But anyway I'm curious if the Titan X suffers from the buzzing sound as well, or it's only the 980 Ti series that's being affected. This is a serious issue when using only Noctua fans, since those high pitched sounds will just go right though the chassis even with Fractal Define R4/R5.
Edit: This guy completely kills it regarding my issue with coil whine.
