I have an XPS 15 9560 and I _love_ it. Never had coil whine or any of those problems. I did spend a bit of time re-pasting the CPU* when I noticed CPU throttling during gaming. That fixed it.
I put 32GB of ram and (now) Fedora 27 on it. I love everything about it. LOVE!
The comment I get the most is "that screen is incredible" from mac users.
