8800GTX Beeping suddenly?!

Recently my 8800gtx has started beeping.

It's extremely annoying, quite high pitched also :/

It only does it when I game or run Folding@Home.

I know they sometimes beep if they don't get sufficient power but that can't be the case as it has both Pci-e 6 pin connectors on and has never had an issue, also this is a brand new Gigabyte Odin 800w powersupply.

Any chance the card could be faulty?
It seems that it's only going crazy when it get stressed.
 
Correction, it's more like the card is making a high pitch wistle.

Strangely it's not the fan, and it doesn't seem to be the PSU since the card has been using it since the weekend and both rails seem to be putting out 12v.

EDIT: Been searching and apparently its the capacitors making the noise.
I just hope this isn't going to lead to them exploding or the card dying :/
