PSU making electrical noise!

I am having a problem, where when I am doing a benchmark in Valley my PSU (which is a Corsair GS700) makes loud electrical noise after the benchmark starts. I have recently added a GTX 970 about a weeks ago and only today have I noticed the noise. I tried running the Valley Benchmark with V-Sync enabled which did help the noise, which led me to believe that this could be coil whine? but I figured I would check here just to be sure! I appreciate any opinions and responses! Thanks in advanced!

Try using a toilet paper cone and put that over your ear and try to scan for the noise source.

My Corsair TX750 is making fan noises, and my friend's CX series was whining as well. So I guess that is common in Corsair PSU's. Good thing that their customer support is superb though :P

Index is good, yes, but railgun is SUPERB. Best anime i've seen in a long time(and i've seen a lot). You really don't need to watch a lot of Index to watch railgun, i totally recommend it. Head over the anime club for any other question/recommendation if you want :)
