My card squealed once on some odd dos based white flickering screen in an error, nothing before or since.

No coil whine on my 1070 FTW in regular gaming at low or high (120 locked) FPS. I run a 120 hz panel too so that is my FPS target and it does not whine.
The only coil whine I hear is when my card is running 5000 FPS on the Valley credits screen. Which is normal, really, at that fps, and not an FPS number I'd ever play games at.

My 1070 FTWs* coil whine is often louder than the fans in my system when playing games. I can hear them through me headphones during quiet moments even (computer sits about 4 feet away at head level). Its definitely the biggest dissapointment about the card.
I returned it once, but the new card sounded the same and the lights looked worse so I just settled because I didnt want the hassle and many people say that coil whine isnt a legitimate reason to return a card so I didnt want to feel like I was abusing the system.
Edit: Power supply is an EVGA G2 550 watt

I share my experience with the EVGA GTX 1070 SC. I already have a third card in this series, which squeaks in the same way as the previous two. Two I send to EVGA (RMA) under warranty. I note that I changed the power supply, suspecting that he might be the cause. With Thermaltake 530 W switched to Corsair 650 W. Unfortunately, the problem has not gone away. Unnecessarily I spent money on power supply. Absolutely advise against all card EVGA GTX 1070. Do not buy IT! For me it is a huge disappointment. First time I have this kind of problem, and in my "career" I had already about 15 different graphics cards. I never buy anything from EVGA. Never... Update - I checked my GTX 1070 in my friends PC (with Chieftec 650 W). You do not guess. Coils squeak! So three power supplies, two different computers and everywhere the same problem. That's why I do not buy the excuse of technical assistance that the problem is on my side. Absurd!

To be fair: This is not an EVGA exclusive issue. The 1070 SC should (?) be a reference pcb, which is being sold by a huge bunch of manifactures.

But from my notice from different forums and reddit posts evga psu under 850w + evga 1070 = coil whine. This what i noticed from specs of people experiencing coil whine. I have evga 750 p2 evga psu still got coil whine on my second 1070 ftw too.
Interesting. I have a 750 G2 PSU and have tried 3 different 1070 FTWs, all had coil whine. Even tried a 650 P2 and still had it, so I think you may be onto something.

I'm on my third 1080 FTW, and it has some pretty severe coil whine (as did the first two). It is pretty situational though, with WoW being the main offender. The curious thing is as soon as I drop the SSAO setting from Ultra to High, the squealing stops. It only happens when SSAO is set to Ultra in WoW.
I've tried two different PSUs (a Corsair PSU, and now an EVGA 850W) and it is the same. I wonder if it could be my motherboard (ASUS Maximus VIII), as I've read elsewhere that the motherboard has caused coil whine with these cards but I don't have a spare one lying around to test. I never had the problem with my previous 980Ti though.

Whats funny is I have the same g2 series, and vie seen someone with the same series say they get no coil whine at all.

So as you can see - this is major and common problem.
Why no one from EVGA does not officially take voice? Why there is no press release on coil whine? I do not want to express bad, but both EVGA and NVIDIA simply have customers in the... well, they have customers for nothing. Money taken and pretend that the problem does not exist.

Your Home power can cause coil whine as well. If your home can not provide clean power, it may be causing a whine. I have a 650g2, 1300g2, 1600g2, an enermax 1350 gold and enermax 1500 gold set of power supplies, as well as a 780ti, two 980tis and a 1070.. None of them have coil whine.
I am not saying your home is absolutely the problem, but it could be a small portion of what is causing it.

My home power?! And my friend's home power (I wrote about checking card on his PC)? Maybe all power in whole Poland is just bad? :-) ABSURD.

You are not the only person in this thread . My post was a general post, which is why I didn't quote anyone. Users tend to quote people when a commented is directed at them, so it isn't taken as a general comment. Keep in mind that people have utilized UPS systems to help clean the power delivery and stop coil whine. This is not practical for every user.

I've had my EVGA 1070 FTW for a couple of weeks now and zero coil whine (or any other noise come to that). Quietest card I've had for a while now. Last few cards were MSI (460/580/670/970).
Even on some of the loading screens where my MSI 970 gaming used to start to squeal, the 1070 is as quiet as a church mouse.
As a few others have commented, buying a graphics card is a bit of a crapshoot (IE. "a risky or uncertain matter") as they say. Pretty much applies to all the problems/issues with the current generation of graphics cards (and all previous generations come to that). Mine even has the dreaded Micron memory that's not supposed to OC very well, well on mine it OC's just fine. Luck of the draw.

In that case, I'm glad that not only in Poland, we have a "bad power" :)))

Well, that mean that all of them (along with nvidia) have us for nothing. Like EVGA. I have EVGA card, we are on EVGA's forum, so I write about EVGA. I had their cards before, and this time they completely messed up my confidence. Can you say which brands have you tested? And I could buy RX 480 instead of GTX...

I definitely have a significant amount of coil whine on my 1070 sc while playing certain titles. Seems to be things that only put a medium amount of stress on the card that lead to this. Desktop (very low fan), and something like 4k Gears 4 (High fan) don't seem to encounter it. It's very loud though, to the point where I'm actually avoiding playing certain games where I know it will be an issue.
I'm in the process of a step-up right now (though who knows, that might take many more months to happen apparently), so I'm sitting here with my card, wanting to RMA it, but also thinking that might cause additional issues when it comes to the already super long step-up process.
It's very unfortunate.

Just wanted to confirm, that my RMA replacement (1070 SC) got significant less coil whine. Also, I undervolted the card to 1,00V @ 2080MHz which lead to a even less noise. I'm quite happy with the result. :)

Is this coil whine issue experienced on 1070 cards with Micron memory, by chance?
