    Today I updated to the 176.26 beta drivers and I noticed a strange sound comming from the right side of the notebook. This is not the CPU whine... I already got rid of this. It almost sounds like its comming from the monitor out port. I almost noticed that it makes more noise the lower the frame rate is.... I have no idea why this is... and it is much more high pitch and less noticible as the fram rate goes up. Its is also slightly more prevelant when the card is OC'd. Anyways, I find this quite strange and woundered if anyone else has experienced simillar issues. I dont think this has anything to do with the drivers I noticed a strange sound before but with in-game sound it usually masked it, today I noticed it when I muted my sound.

    I think I might have this too, noticed it just a few minutes ago. When the framerate is low (for example when scrolling on a web page, there's a strange noise) Doesn't really bother me though , I think I would have already noticed if it was harmful.
    Just thought I should let you know!

    It is nothing but an interference issue.
