There's something called coil whine that has to do usually with the Graphics Card. I have that on my GTX 1660 Super, and I know this because it only happens when I have high fps in a game. Might have something to do with the power supply, as well. Have you made sure it is not from the GPU?

It's definitely louder near the top of the mobo / cpu area rather than closer to the GPU, but apparently it can come from the motherboard as well. I changed some power related options in the BIOS and it seems to have helped? So I suppose it might have been that. Thanks though!
