This is happening when gaming and the GPU is at 100% utilization, when I quit the game the sound stops in the video. I have heard coil whine before on my older power supplies, but I guess this sounds different to me? I'm just worried since it is a brand new PSU, could there be a problem with it, or is this normal?
 
Thanks in advance for any insight/advice.
 
Edit: Also sorry for not knowing the common etiquette for these forums beforehand, apparently I can't post links even though I joined in 2007. So I split the text to include the link, I hope that's ok
And just to note the GPU is a 3080, was using it with a SuperNova 750 G1 before in my old build and didn't notice any similar sounds.

    Coil whine is harmless, but if it bothers you then I would suggest rma'ing it.

    Thanks for the reply. The noise itself doesn't bother me, most of the time I'll be wearing headphones anyway. Just nervous with it being a new build and I want to be sure that's what the noise is, not some other problem.

    It does sound like coil whine to me.
