I have noticed a strange whining noise coming from my graphics card. It only seems to happen when I am playing a game in which I have a high frame rate. The most noticeable game for this is Team Fortress 2, I hit 300fps constant and the whine is huge, if I lock the frame rate down to 120, the sound is a lot less noticeable and if I lock it to 60 it virtually disappears. I managed to grab a recording of the noise whitest playing TF2.
My guess is that this is the capacitors or something whining but I just want someone to confirm for me. My system specification is on my profile to the left, and the noise happens if the card is over clocked or not, and as I said, it only happens under high frame rate.

The image was taken at the same time as the recording.
