[SOLVED] High pitched noise inside the PC case

Build:
Ryzen 5 1600
Galax GTX 1660 SUPER
16GB RAM

Hello everyone, I've built my PC in August 2020 and never had any problems with it, but since yesterday, there's a sort of frequency sound coming out of it. It's barely audible while idle, but gets stronger and annoying when playing games.
It doesn't look like the PSU is the problem, because the sound seems to come from the GPU or the AIO pump, I'm not really sure.
I'm really worried about it, is there any chance that it could blow up or cause damage to another components if i keep using it normally?

if the sound is ramping up as processing intensifies it is more than likely a fan that spins faster as more heat is produced.
many times the bearings of lower quality fans can go bad and create odd noises
or their blades can become off balance and create other odd noises the faster they spin.

while the sound is being emitted gently press on the center of each fan until they stop and see if the sound quits when a certain one is stopped.

while water pumps are known to emit noise, it's usually more of a clicking or bubbling type of sound.

is there any chance that it could blow up or cause damage to another components

if it is a sign of excess heat being produced it could cause damage to components but most are designed to shut down or throttle performance to reduce temperature when getting dangerously high.

while i've seen some & heard of many more older units catching fire or showing signs of contact burn,
never of anything exploding that doesn't have a lithium ion battery.
