High pitch noise when RGB elements are turned on

Here's my symptoms:

 

- if RGB is enabled on RAM and my LED strip, there is a very high pitched noise coming from the RAM area (tested with a toilet paper roll and listened).

- If set to breathing effects, the noise comes on with the lights, and goes off without them.

- If I disable lights on the RAM, but keep the LED light on, the noise goes away. If I disable the lights on the LED but keep the lights on the RAM, the noise is quieter.

- When the RGB elements have been off for awhile, the noise can pick up and start, then go away, then start, but activating the LED's makes it's instantly worse.

 

I tried another RGB header on the motherboard too without success.

 

Asus Maximus X Hero

8700k

Corsair RM750x

8x4 Gb Corsair Vengeance RGB 3000mhz

Kraken x62

No mechanical HDD's

 

My RAM was also set to 1.5V in UEFI, I changed it to 1.35 which didn't help.

To me, this sounds like a cross-talking-related issue. Not quite sure, though...

Make sure to tag and/or quote people so they get notified... :P:D

I'm using Aura to control both. Should probably try Corsair Link?

By cross-talk I mean something like coil whine, but in a different way...(Sorry, I'm a noob when it comes to these things :/ ) Also, I think it's called EMI; oops

Looks like if I take the LED strip OUTSIDE of the case, the noise stops. It's magnetic. Is this the problem?
