Hello,
So the past few days I've been dealing with an annoying persisting noise coming from my PC. It's either from my GPU or my CPU, can't really tell. It never stops while my PC is on. Any ideas what this might be? Thanks in advance.

Here is the link to the sound - noise: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0HkgXp0s0s9

Mobo: Z97P-D3, CPU: i5 4690k (stock fan), GPU: Gigabyte GTX 970 4GB OC

Probably coil whine. Nothing to worry about it is just annoying. Might be able to get rma for it but it wont mess with.the lifespan or performance of the card

Alright, thanks for answering! Googled it and it seems to be coil whine indeed! :) I wish I can get RMA because I really wasn't happy with my card since I never had the expected performance out of it.
