Strix 3080 OC - Coil whine

Zeroed85
Level 8
I have terribly loud coil whine/buzz from my Strix 3080 OC. I have the card installed to an EKWB waterblock which makes the noise even more so unpleasant. I know that Asus implemented a noise mitigation feature into some of the Z590 motherboards to mitigate coil whine from the VRM and I wonder if the same noise mitigation could be implemented into a VBIOS for Strix GPU's?

I did have this issue before. I bought a X brand power supply but the shipment delayed. I have to borrow a friend a power supply (Z brand). It turn up also having coil whine noise. But Once my purchased power supply arrived and sit into my system, the coil whine noise disappeared. The output from the power to the GPU may be the issue or the cable connected to the GPU, I really do not which is which. the PSU or the cable. Just my experience.
