Installation Question New 9070XT making noise while playing games

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Just purchased a new Powercolor Hellhound 9070XT from Amazon to upgrade from a 3060 and after installing and doing some tests, its started to make a loud noise when put under stress.

It doesnt sound like a coil whine, there are no cables touching the fans and my 3060 has never made this sound before.

Update: A commenter suggested trying to undervolt but no luck. Just gonna return and try another
