    ive got quite bad coil whine, its not high pitched but low pitched and you can hear it whenever you put the psu on any load above around about 180w

    RMA. Make sure it's the PSU first and not something like your graphics card.

    100% its the PSU as before i had my Antec 380w psu and that was quiet with no coil whine, the GPU has a higher pitched whine but its stopped doing that, should i keep the wires as its a modular power supply?

    Really won't matter. Any PSU you buy will come with their own.

    If you RMA a PSU, you must include all the bundled cables. Those will be the warranty terms so stick to them.
