I did talk to them. They suggested running a benchmark for a few hours then rmaing so I did, then got a new card and it sounded the same =/ So, Im guessing given Ive seen some people report no coil whine, that the evga powersupply has problems with the evga card -__-. Too bad I cant return it and I dont want to have to buy another powersupply without knowing which one wont cause the whine so Il just live with it.

 
Why don't you take your card to a friend and test it there to see if the coil whine is still present.

EhCanadian..Do you have the option of a 14 day RMA where you live mate?
If the whine was considerably louder than my fans i would have sent mine back,i think most manufacturers cards have the possibility of coil whine.
If your out of the 14 day period can you send it to EVGA to look at?
I dont know how the consumer law works where you live pal..maybe contact EVGA?
All the best

Its not just Evga PSU's that may have problems with the evga cards (or any other manufacturers), I had GPU coil whine with my previous Antec HCG-750M. Still present with my Evga g2 850, the coil are mainly down to the cards alone it would seem. Trying it in a friends computer would be a good idea...I took my computer to my local computer shop and asked the owner if they had any spare PSU I could test. Again, still coil whine :(

That requires a friend

When you received your rma, was the replacement card brand new?

Seemed like it was. It came still with the plastic film  though the packaging was different and it had hard plastic instead of the shaped black foam.

Have you reran the benchmark on the new card to see if it helps lower the whine?

I didnt. Just played on it for a few hours and it sounded about as loud as my original card (which to my hearing didnt change in volume) I first got it so I repackaged it to return. Actually shipping it off today.

My first 1070 FTW had absolutely horrible coil whine. I have a EVGA G2 750 power supply. I even tried it with another power supply, same thing. I RMA'd the card and I am happy to report that the new card has zero coil whine. :)

Great news! ..This has made me little more hopeful that my replacement will have less/no coil (I'm using the EVGA G2 850).
 
I have only just sent my 1080 off today, how long did it take to get your new card from Evga?

Unfortunately for me I'm on the east coast and EVGA rma is on the west coast. So it took like 12-14 days IIRC.
