The so-called coil whine comes, as the word suggests, from coils that are under load. This can occur especially under increased load, as with power supply units or monitors. The problem here is that the quality of the individual components varies greatly, i.e. this hardly occurs with 9 cards, but is present with 10. Many cards have this, regardless of the version or manufacturer, but the extent will probably vary.

If the card consumes less power than others, a single 8pin is sufficient. Other cards probably have the option of raising the power limit, which consumes more power, and in return you get an additional 6pin.

The difference is in the clock speed. The G1 variant will run in base, but can be overclocked manually, which can lead to a possible loss of warranty. The Windforce is delivered in OC mode, which is why the warranty remains intact when overclocking.
