Is the coil whine you hear coming from your PSU related to the GPU?
Is the coil whine you hear coming from your PSU related to the GPU?
Hi. I just purchased a Corsair RM850X Shift from Amazon and set it up. I started experiencing coil whine continuously, even during games and when idle. Here are some links for reference:

Interesting fact is the whine gets louder when I press the enter key—it feels like shooting a gun. My PSU isn’t making any noise, only my GPU does. Could my PSU be the issue? I still have until the 4th to return and need a quick answer.
The videos aren't visible for me, indicating they're unavailable.
You could try using an A4 sheet, holding one end to your ear while the other probes the noise source.
Also consider checking your specifications: CPU, cooler, motherboard, RAM, SSD/HDD, GPU, PSU, chassis, OS, monitor. Include the age of the PSU along with its make and model. The BIOS version for your motherboard is also important.
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G
Cooler: AMD Stock Cooler
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B550M-K
BIOS: 3607
RAM: 1x16gb HyperX 2400mhz
Storage: Kingston 1TB SSD
GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX RX 6600 XT GAMING OC
Power Supply: Corsair RM850X Shift
Case: Random prebuilt (myria)
Operating System: Windows 10 22H2
Display: DELL S2721DGF
My PSU was bought last month; it's brand new with no problems, except for a minor GPU coil whine that I'm unsure if the PSU is causing.
I also made the videos public.
