it may be the psu, is it powerful enough?

that could cause the mobo to make that noise

where is the noise coming from on the board?

 

check all the fans to make sure they are not making contact with wires or anything. cpu fan...

molex ftw 

hmm, so 750 combined for all devices (hdd, fans etc) or 750watt for the graphicscards and the cpu? 

750Watt with 2 770´s is a bit tight...

does it happen right from when the system powers up?

 

did you try to remove the second gfx card?

 

unplug or stop any close by fans

I think it´s normal, it may be the active phase switch. 

It can be disabled in the bios

It may be a relay clicking try to find out for sure where its coming from if that means rebuilding it out side of a case so be it

id begin by unplugging everything . all fans except cpu. all disc drives. remove 2nd gfx card. triple check all connectors are secured proper.  if no resolve do as tictac suggested and test outside of the case
