PSU to fix Video card coil whine

I have a GTX 780 video card and now with Windows 10 and Chrome I think the GPU is being used all the time.

This means the annoying coil whine sound is always in the background

I heard some people fixed it by replacing the power supply with a high quality one.

What power supply is recommended to fix this problem?

Thanks
 
What percentage of the gpu is being used? I have heard the coil whine on a couple different 780s with a few different power supplies. I personally did not notice a difference between PSUs, but I was only getting it when the gpu competely pegged.

Around 5 to 8 percent, it is known that Chrome is heavily GPU accelerated.

That is NOT a sure fire fix though.
Some GPUs will always have the whine, no matter what you do, and the only fix for those cards is to RMA them.
