This is probably coil whine. So anyways, I just finished building my pc and i booted up my pc. I immediately hear a really high pitch sound. I do not know where its coming from. I am not sure if this helps, but I have my gpu fans off by default so i am guessing the sound is not coming from there. Also when I restart my computer, my cpu heatsink fans does not spin during that second when rebooting but I still hear that sound which is why i am also assuming the sound is not from my cpu cooler. Anyone got any ideas to help me to get rid of this really high pitch sound?

Can you record the noise with your phone and upload an audio clip of it so we can hear what the noise is?

Sorry the fan is my cpu cooler but you can slight hear the high pitch sound. Sounds just like that

Can definitely hear that high pitched whine... Is that the PSU shroud you're pointing the camera at? Is the noise coming from the PSU? (If so, what model PSU?)

hear closely where sound comes from, remove every fan possible for testing.

 

Just removed all case fans to hear the high pitch more clearly. I will attach a video which shows the top of the motherboard down to the bottom of the motherboard. I can hear that is louder if i put my ears at the bottom of my motherboard. The sound is either from my psu, bottom of motherboard, or maybe the gpu with no fans spinning on it

while pc is on, try applying gentle pressure on cpu/ heatsinks, I had coil whine on cpu and temp fix by adding weight to it, then disabled c-state fixed cpu coil whine.
