Please refer to video of the sound: http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=vd0fie&s=8#.U-NTTfldU30
It definitely seems to be coming from the GPU, I put my head next to it while recording.

So basically, I didn't have this noise a couple days ago but then it started happening and now it's coming back again. It only seems to occur when I'm playing games under high settings or I think when the GPU is under load. And on bf3 ultra for example, sometimes the sound doesn't happen at all or just goes away, it used to be rare when the sound happened like yesterday, but now it seems to be doing it more often. I ran stress tests on msi kombustion and the noise came on when the card reached 70C then I immediately stopped it in fear of overheating the card, and the noise came back louder for a few seconds as the temps started dropping and got quiet again. The noise also goes away when I alt tab out of the game.
I thought it was coil whine at first but I don't know. It wasn't doing it before for example when I played bf3 a couple days back but now it seems to do it often especially on games such as bf3, planetside 2, etc.
Does anyone know how I could fix it or what it could be?
I also have a little vent on the side of my case thankfully so I can see my motherboard, and there is nothing catching the gpu fans at all, so I don't think it can be that.
Sorry if the audio is kind of low, but trust me when it comes on it is pretty loud and very very annoying. Just imagine that sound louder basically, and that is what it sounds like in real life.
Thanks for any help. By the way, this pc is several months old and it just started happening now.
