Hi guys. I'm quite new here, and I come with a certain question. I've build my own pc lately and so far it's been performing nicely without any problems. But several days ago sth inside my box started "whizzing". Its a high pitched noice, it appears only when i turn on my games. At first i thought it's something with my SSD, cause it seemed like the sound is coming from there. But it stopped the next day. Now it's back, but it doesnt seem like its the SSD, I'd rather say the sound is coming from my motherboard. I've tried boosting my GPU fans to max just to check if thats the case, but the whizzing didn't appear. It only appears when I'm playing and seems to be coming from my motherboard. I've recorded it, gonna post the link below. My build is : Intel I5-9600 with corsair fan cooling, Geforce 1070, 16 gb DDR 4 ram, and gigabyte z390 UD motherboard. Its all brand new, not even 2 months, except the graph card which is sth like 1 year old.
Here's the sound https://vocaroo.com/jrr3c0SHJag
It starts at about 0:30
 
Solution
Kind of sound like Coil whine, yes.

You could also check if the sound seems to origin from the internal speaker on the motherboard.
It comes from my CPU/Ram area on the mobo, rather not from the speaker. Should I be worried about that? Should I do sth? It's just a small nuisance, it doesn't bother me much cause its almost unaudible when i'm using my headphones, but I kinda don't want my rig to die that quickly
 
I always keep a close watch of the temps, just in case - they're all good. Cpu peaks at about 60 C, GPU at about 60-70. Rest temps are about 40. I've tried stress testing CPU and GPU - nothing happened. At 100% usage there was no wheezing. It only appears while I'm playing games. Should I be worried?
