This unit has had its price cut dramatically and rightfully so. I purchased this unit back in 12/3/21 for the hefty price $396 expecting a great product because I never had a problem with products from EVGA. Its seems that purchasing one these units is akin to drawing straws meaning you could get a good one or a one that sounds like a cricket. I honestly also believe the power delivery is flawed meaning my computer would crash without any overclocks while being stress tested. I have since purchased a new unit from EVGA and all my problems have gone away. No more crashing even overclocked and no whining cricket. 
 
EVGA you should pull these units instead of trying to sell them on the cheap. All you have to do is read the reviews on Amazon and Newegg to see that there is problem. If I had not bought custom sleeved cables I most likely would gone elsewhere. Why am I just now bringing this up? Well I don't get much time to fool with my PC hobby so there was little time for diagnosis and little time for swaps. I honestly believed for while that I had the loudest graphics card I have ever purchased. It wasn't until I did a few sound location test that I was able to pinpoint the CRICKET from Hell.

You must be a younger guy, like 26 or under. As you get older you lose the ability to hear high pitched sounds like this.

Define older. I've no problem hearing high pitches at all. I'm not arguing that in some, that occurs, but it is not really an argument against PWM or coil whine.
In fact, after my first Covid jab, my sensitivity to high frequencies actually increased. It was almost like tinnitus. I found this out for certain when I was using my LED flashlight which I sometimes hold with my teeth when needing both hands. Prior to the jab, I'd heard nothing. After the jab, I can now clearly hear the LED power IC as a faint squealing.

I'd cut my left testicle off with a spoon to be 26 again.  Seriously, its really loud.
