I have a slight high pitched noise coming from my computer, I can't seem to figure out what it is.

The noise isn't constant and isn't very loud. Kind of sounds like a high pitched beep, but more like an older scanner sound.

This motherboard is new, and If I need to I can send it back, I'm just wondering if it something I need to worry about, or something that will be fine.

I have the M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard.

Any advice will be very appreciated.

Do you have a discreet video card? Sounds like it could be "coil whine". It is a high pitched whine emitted by an inductor in some video cards.
