Scary buzzing noise HELP!!!

[jacobxtyler]

I have a Gigabyte 6870OC, and I noticed that it makes this pretty loud buzzing noise whenever im playing a graphic intensive game (BF3, first noted in BlackLight Retribution). I thought it was the Hdd at first because there relitively close, but ive been getting no errors with seagate's sea tools.

Any idea what this might be and how i can fix it?

I wonder if it's the fan? Is there any problems with the game video ? Is the card continueing to show the game with no issues besides that noise?

Are you sure its not the PSU? That is an odd noise, haven't heard that one before.

I havent really noticed any tearing or anything, it just buzzes once i play for about 10 minutes. i tried to take a look and see if anything was touching the fans or anything but all i hear is the noise with no visual evidence of what it might be...

Yeah im pretty sure its not the PSU, is coming from either the end of my graphics card or my HDD

im pretty sure its not the PSU though, cause its coming from closer to the HDD bays, not the back bottom of the case were the psu is

I just realized i never came back and said that i am a fool. It was a heat sensor on my motherboard telling me that temps were "too high".
