24.6.1 introduced a coil whine

I own a Sapphire RX 7600 Pulse, and after updating to 24.6.1 driver version, I started hearing a coil whine. This is happening even when I am just browsing in my browser (Google Chrome). Of course, you can also hear that during playing games. 

 

The GPU usage mostly sits at 1% to 2%, while running just a browser, so it's not even busy, however, I have noticed to compared to the previous version, It's using 10W more.

 

I have downgraded to 24.5.1 and the problem seems to be gone, it's using less W and the Memory temps seems to be a bit lower. 

 

I also saw on reddit, that I am not the only one with this issue on this specific driver....

try to undervolt your video card, this usually helps to reduce coil whine.

I'm experiencing coil whine on my desktop, idle, moving windows around, and scrolling my browser.

 

Downgraded to 24.5.1 and it goes away and I can live in silence again.

 

AMD please fix.
