I decided to try out the COD:Ghosts free weekend on steam today. I've had my new GPU installed for close to a week with no problems whatsoever. Even running high end games on Ultra have not effected it in the slightest. However after playing close to 3 hours I took a break. Went back on twenty minutes later, joined a match and midway my GPU started a long nonending beep. I immediately shut the game down, the beeping stopped. I brought up my program to check tempature and the GPU was at 121f. It cooled down to around 80f within 3 minutes of closing the game down. I'm not sure if it's the different place I had to stick my case fan and I'm not getting adequate airflow to the case, or if it's a problem with the GPU itself. Any help would be appreciated and I will answer any questions to get this fixed pronto.

121f is nothing to be concerned about at all. 194f = 90C is geting close to throttling temp.
Your gpu will not beep, it has no speakers. what is your cpu temp under these conditions, and what are your full system specs. can you use C please and not f, it's really confusing.

Sorry I'm not used to using C. I have an AMD FX 8210 8 core @ 3.2 underclocked to 3.0ghz. Liquid cooled and was around 30C. 16GB ram 750w PSU. Asus mobo(can't remember exact model) Samsung SSD, WD HDD. and the GPU is Zotac Nvidia GTX 770 with only one 120mm case fan and 2 120mm case fans focused on my liquid cooling radiator.

I apologize for not offering a concrete solution in this post, but it is still unclear to me if the original temps you posted were in C or F...so just to be completely clear, was your GPU temp 121F when you exited game or was it 121C? In your last post you just said you werren't used to using C. Let us know; thanks!

No problem, thanks for the clarity! I'm no expert, the other posters in this thread seem to have some good thoughts. Just for reference, 121F = 50C which is very cool for a GPU. If your GPU is running at that temp while playing a high end game like COD Ghosts and you didn't notice any other graphical problems in game, I think you can pretty definitively say that your GPU is not the problem. BUT if there is an audible beep that was occuring during the game and that stopped when you shut the game down, there is obviously SOMETHING going on. My first inclination would be to make sure your audio drivers are up-to-date.

13th Monkey, GPUs can and do beep. While I can't give a definitive list, when supplied with insufficient power, all of the NVIDIA GPUs I have owned since the 8800 series until now have beeped. There is really no rule that a manufacturer can't put a piezo element on their component to make noise if they want to. 
There's also nothing to prevent attached devices from sending audible sound through any attached internal PC speaker on the motherboard, or external speakers plugged into the sound device, except for the possible complexity of programming it.
Is every power connection on the GTX 770 plugged in fully? The reference design for the GTX 770 has a pair of power connectors on it, an 8-pin and a 6-pin. Did you use every pin on both plugs? Some folks have power supplies with 6+2-pin PCIe power connectors instead of solid 8-pin connectors and aren't always aware they are supposed to use the +2 to make the full 8-pin connection.
Years ago, I also saw an ASUS motherboard that would emit a constant beep through the attached PC speaker until reset, when accessing one of the drives. Never sorted that out.
I would start by reproducing the beep, and see if you can come up with a cause for it. Be it a certain temperature, a certain percentage of GPU usage, activity over the SATA connectors, USB usage, etc.
Do you have an excessive amount of USB powered devices that are running off of the mainboard?

which 750W psu is it? could be under volts, though that would cause a crash not a beep generally, unless you are very lucky.

If your power supply was drooping under load to the point it mattered to the circuitry on the graphics card, I would suspect it would throttle the card and beep, until the condition was fixed.
A Corsair CX750 should be overkill for your configuration. Doesn't however remove the possibility of a malfunction in a component.
Do you by chance have a temperature alarm enabled for your CPU in BIOS? Perhaps it's set low, and just happened to reach your alarm threshold in that particular instance? I'm skeptical this would be the problem, but might as well throw it out there, as it is a possibility.
