Since I have owned my 6800xt, I have noticed coil whine. I don't know if it is getting louder, or I am just more sensitive to it, but sounds like a bunch of bees in my case. Is this dangerous and should I pursue a RMA, or more just annoying?

Pretty normal in most cases, have a search online and will get lots of feedback everywhere.

My RoG Strix RX480 did some but I learned how to mitigate it. VSYNC or FreeSync can help with coil whine in some games instead of VSYNC Off.

Limiting the Fps a bit above the refresh rate on Adrenalin can help too.

The only bad Coil Whine is on the PSU, if it does then its bad. Learned the hard way.
