I just finished building my computer and i tried playing call of duty modern warfare and editing video's in adobe after effects when my graphics card is being used i get a buzzing noise. My card is the EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SC

Should i be worried? Its practically brand new so should i take it back to the store?

Thanks

I believe it's fairly standard. I get buzzing on my Gigabyte Radeon 7970 OC, most noticeable in game menus when the fan speed isn't drowning it out. If I alt-tab out it will stop and if I re-open the program it will start again. It gets louder with more and more fps. If I try playing a game with 150+ fps it sounds like a visit to the dentist. I think what I've got is called coil whine, and it's standard with all cards. Nothing to worry about.
