Most likely fan headers on your motherboard that do not have fans connected to them.

you shouldn't really be getting high temperature if you have a storm sniper,have you arranged your fans correctly so you get good airflow? you should be having like 3 blowing in and 2 blowing out

Yes, it's your video card fan making the noise, it's too hot! I have 7 case fans in my antec 1200 case, and when my gtx280 fan runs at 100%, I can hear it over all the other noise! Do you have your fans arranged so they draw in air from the front and exhaust out the back? As others have said, your video card is not getting enough airflow somehow....
