I havent messed with coil whine in many many years. Hot glue was effective but the problem is placement. The location of the vibration must be found, used touch and listen to find a time change. Apply hot glue.
Sometimes, the tone changes but the whine is still there. But I have had a second application resolve this.
Admittedly, no experience with modern gpu and components. And personaly, I have never had coil whine in any of my personal PCs or gpus. But at my old pc shop, have had to deal with it a few times.
Its been many yrs ago.
Todays hardware may be different and it appears most people don't have luck with hot glue. But its not as simple as, "put glue on these". So that doesn't surprise me.
Don't know if they still do but several yrs back you would find all kinds of electronics with globs oh silicon and glue covering components to dampen version. It is something that works. Its just finding the point of max oscillation, and starting from there.
But I am not suggesting you do anything to your 400$ card. Just sharing
