high pitched noise coming from motherboard?

whenever i launch a game i hear a faint high pitched noise from my motherboard. it sounds like its right around the chipset area. i just got a evga x58 le motherboard. is this normal, or should i return it? i am sure its eaither the mother board or the video card. i know its nothing else becuase all of the other components are older, besides the cpu, and ram.

Do the chipset have a fan? My old ASUS board had a chipset fan and it make annoying sounds.

Depends what you consider a hard time. You will have to call Microsoft so that you can re-activate it, as the key you have has been locked to that specific motherboard.

As for the high-pitched noise, are you sure it's coming from your motherboard? If so, then yes, you should return it. It usually means that a capacitor is not doing its job properly, aka faulty.
