I have a evga gtx 1070 ftw and I can hear a coil whine.... I have the pc next to table, the card is inside the case. I can hear it from 3 feet away, it's louder than my loud fans. Is it something to worry, should I RMA, or any fix?

Welcome to the forums..See the EVGA FAQ: What is coil whine, and how does it affect my video card?
 
Coil whine may even go away after a while..My card whined for almost two weeks when new, and then nothing..But yeah, follow what it says in the FAQ..An RMA may ultimately be in order.

it might be my power supply? I'm using a cheapo power supply (model number hpl-800br-f14s) which I think is causing the issue. I have EVGA 600B in my other rig , I will swap it out tomorrow, see if it makes a difference. I doubt it will but it's not bad to give it a try.

Yeah, that's entirely possible along with the other things in the FAQ.
