Corsair HX750 Coil Whine - Should I RMA?

I have this PSU:

http://www.corsair.com/professional-series-hx750-80-plus-silver-certified-modular-power-supply.html

I bought it in early 2010, primarily using it with a single video card (Radeon 5850 and later 7950). No issues whatsoever. Recently, I put in another Radeon 7950 and it began emitting some whining sounds (randomly, not continuous), but everything seems to work. I contacted Corsair and they were nice enough to issue an RMA. But since everything works (it's just an annoying whine), should I follow up on the RMA? Will there be long term damage to system components?
 
It won't damage your computer but it's worth RMA'ing. Some people are sensitive to ps's that have coil whine, some aren't. If you can hear it and it bugs you, RMA it.
