    GTX 1070 ti MSI Gaming Coil Whine Question

    Cant say for sure its the PSU. Sometimes coil whine can occur with certain hardware combos. I think if you can test with ANY other PSU 650+ watts might be a good idea for troubleshooting. Maybe , try the card in another system to see if the coil whine shows up.

    I'm concerned about my newly ordered GTX 750 FML 2GD5 (2gb) from aliexpress!!!

    It says delivery 20-34 days. If its a fake make a claim and get your money back AND keep the card potentially. You wont know until your get the card so inspect it carefully after opening.

    Should I update bios?

    Agree with most of the comments above dont flash the card BIOS unless you are directed by Galaxr to do so. Im pretty sure Galax should supply you with the correct BIOS for your card if needed. You can brick your card IF the BIOS flash is not done correctly or not the actual BIOs from Galax.

    GTX 970 higher idle temps after re applying thermal paste.

    The rule of thumb when repasting is a dab slightly larger than a grain of rice. You dont need much to provide the contact you need. A simple way to spread the paste is with the end of a business card or a thin piece of cardboard. If you put too much then temps can increase.
