I think it may have taken me a while to discover the sound because it's actually kind of subtle until you notice it. It's a constant whine around 11000Hz that seems to have nothing to do with work load. If my computer is on, the sound is there. The whine doesn't come from the fans, but rather that part of the card where I've got my displays plugged in.

I'm running a recording and mixing studio so this is a very big problem for me. Is this just something I should expect or do I send it back to Gigabyte? I might be building a sound proof cabinet for my computer anyway, but it seems like most people think making the source quieter is always the best idea.

I've heard of whine under load, but not while idle.
