So I've just installed a new cooler Master v8 and everything appears to be working fine. Temperatures are good and I've had no issues in the few hours since it's been running. However it's making this awful high pitch whine over and over.
I've taken the sides of the case off and tried to pin point exactly where the sound is coming from and it certainly appears to be the v8 but I'm not 100% certain. I've taken a quick video to show the problem and hope someone can help.

It sounds like a bearing noise since it's quite regular.

You have 2 fans on it in push-pull configuration. Take the rear fan out (disconnect the fan wire from MoBo so the fan won't turn) and listen if you still get the annoying sound. Do the same with front fan while rear fan works.
