Had my new custom PC for 5 days and I've noticed that whenever I do something with a high CPU load, mostly playing online videogames, there is a high pitched squeaking noise coming from the CPU area that changes pitch and instantly goes away again if I minimise or close the high usage programme. Could anyone tell me if this is normal and if so fixable or if it is or could be a potential problem in the future? Thank you.
