2 days ago my motherboard started making a buzzing sound when it has power but even when the computer is turned off. The buzzing stops when I remove the power (remove the cable from the power supply or simply switch de power supply off).
I have done some tests and came up with these results, the buzzing only starts when the 24 Pin ATX is connected: http://imgur.com/x9QpOpB. I tried remove RAM, I tried using another working power supply from my roommate computer and the buzzing was still there, but only if that 24 Pin ATX was connected.
I have recorded the buzzing sounds, but as you know it's not very loud, but I can still hear it with the computer case closed. The recording starts with nothing, then a "click" indicating I switch the power supply on, and then you can hear the buzzing, then I turned the power supply off again, and so on so you can clearly distinguish the buzzing sounds. I ramped up the volume on the file
so the "click" might be loud so beware.
So I'm still using the computer and it's working perfectly, but I'm just wondering if I should be worried about my other components (I don't want it to break my expensive gpu :/) and is there something I can do besides changing motherboard (if the motherboard is the problem). By the way the sounds seems to come from the cpu area, I have a corsair h100i water cooler, it couldn't be this would it?
Thanks in advance!

EDIT 2: My motherboard is Gigabyte Z87X-D3H-CF, less than 2 years old, if that helps.
