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

1070 FTW DT

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.
