Coil whine survey 
Please note by coil whine I do not mean the obnoxiously loud high screech in game menus or when you quit heaven benchmark.
Here is an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB9uK-Tnc7I&t=0m26s
Test method - Heaven 4.0 Benchmark at whatever settings you want (since I figure most people here already have it installed).
If you have a low power card do not use maximum settings as extremely low FPS can cause coil whine not to occur.
The survey
1. Do you hear coil whine coming from your graphics card during heaven benchmark?
2. Please list the following components in your system. Graphics card - Motherboard - Power supply
3. What is the rpm of your case fans + cpu cooler.
