[SOLVED] Continuous high-pitch beep noise coming from mobo

When I start up my computer, just after it boots into windows I hear this annoying high-pitch beep coming from my motherboard. All my temps are normal, I turned off my overclock, and it's still there. I have just tried reseating my ram, my gpu, and my cpu cooler, and the noise is still there. I think it's my psu but I could be wrong, as it's almost brand new. This problem started a little after I started overclocking, but now that I have returned all my clocks to normal, I don't know what to think.

 

Specs:

Intel i5 3570k

Noctua nh-d14

EVGA Supernova v2 850w

Asrock z77 lga1155

EVGA Reference GTX 980

Phanteks Entho Pro

Gigabyte 1333mhz (no spreader, very old)

Kingston HyperX 3k 256gb

WD Green 3tb

 

UPDATE:

After a bit of testing i found that the beeping goes away when all fans controlled directly by the mobo are off (that means all the fans except the GPU fan, and yes, unfortunetly includes my CPU fan). My computer won't overheat like this uneless under extreme load, but in a medium-stress game it went from 30 degrees to 65. This is really weird and makes me think that the problem is the board. If I can't find the solution by tomorrow, I'm going to take my board into NCIX.

 

UPDATE 2:

After a little more research I think that the RAM, which I already thought might be a factor to be more likely to be that cause of the problem. It's strange that the computer still boots, but I have had problems with this RAM before, such as having to reseat it multiple times for the computer to boot up. I don't I have the money to buy more RAM, so I might just take my whole computer to NCIX to have them look at it.

It's the speaker for the post and such.  In your mobo booklet their should be a troubleshooting chart from different patterns of beeps.

Just looked in the manual, nothing about beep codes. Googled "Asrock beep codes" and no results to do with long, continuous beeps, only sequences of short beeps.

maybe it is some sort of coil wine that is produced due to the fans plugged in on your motherboard

SOLVED! Thank you so much, I unplugged 2 of the fans from the fan header and the noise stopped. Later, I'll rewire them into the built-in fan headers on my mobo, and hope it does not come back. If it does, I'll replace the fans.

Sounds like a fan issue.
