Hi i was wondering if there was a way to see if there was a way to figure out if my motherboard is causing my graphics cards to coil whine i have tried 8 Different Cards in separate PCI-e slots and keep getting it. i have un-plugged and disabled all audio Tryed multiple power supply and with/without a Surge protector, i have also taken the cards out and ran the same test with onboard graphics and didnt get the sound. I have tryed 2 evga 650 ti boost, 3 evga 760 acx, a msi 7770 and im currently using a r9 270x, they all produce a hissing sound when under load. when ever i run Heaven it gets extremely bad and at the exit screen the Scream at me its so loud and im not sure how or what i can do to test anything else. i dont have any where local to buy a new mobo. and newegg screwed me over on multiple orders can someone please help.
can some one answer this please

A hissing sound isn't coil whine - coil whine is exactly that, a very high pitched whine.
Hissing and loud noises both don't sound like coil whine, but rather simply loud fans - could it just be that you're sensitive to that, and if so, try using sound-proofing foam and aiming the back of the computer away from you. It should help a lot.

use a straw placed against your ear to try to "focus in" on the noise and figure out exactly where it's coming from. then see if you can place your finger on a component to stop it from making noise (if you can hear it, that means something is vibrating, so touching it should dampen the vibrations like placing your fingers on a speaker). if it's a mobo part, maybe try a hot-glue gun or even some silicone caulking from the hardware store. - or even jam a piece of rubber between it and the part beside it (if they're caps or chokes that are close enough together)
