I realized that when I turn my pc on it seems to have some sort of whining noise. But, I do not think it is the gpu because it happens right when I turn my pc on and continues until I turn it off and I thought that coil whine in the gpu only happens when gaming. It sounds like it is coming from my cpu pump but I can't quite tell. I also read it can be from my motherboard, psu, and HDD. if their was a way I can locate this noise please let me know. (p.s. I unplugged my gpu before starting my pc up and it still made the noise so I do not think it is the gpu.)

Could be the bearings on your PSU fan. Mine is starting to do it on and off for about a month now.

Could just be the pump… you can unplug the pump from power and power the PC on for a minute just to see. Pumps do make noise.
