high pitch ringing after memory upgrade

MikeF

so i just bought 8gb ram to bring by system up to a full 16gb, since i've installed the new sticks, i'm hearing a high pitched ringing in my ears similar to what you'd get after flying or staying out all night at a club.

after doing a fair bit of googling i'm certain that it's not coming from any optical drives, power source, or cpu. i'm convinced it's a capacitor on the board about to go, but i want to hear anyone elses input just incase.

specs: (just a direct copy paste from the invoice, let me know if you need more details)

board : MSI P67A-GD65 B3 Intel P67 Motherboard - ATX, Socket H2 (LGA1155), Intel P67 Express, DDR3 2133MHz (O.C.), SATA 6.0 Gb/s, Gigabit LAN, CrossFire/SLI Ready, USB 3.0

memory : Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B Vengeance Desktop Memory Kit - 8GB (4x 4GB), PC3-12800, DDR3-1600MHz, 9-9-9-24 CAS Latency, Intel XMP Ready, Unbuffered

edit: Also, i'd like to really push this system as far as i can go, but most of my apps/games barely break the 4gb mark at max settings, anything fun to try?

I've heard high pitched sounds coming from a dying/dead power supply...never heard any other components do that.

Weird but make sure any cables are clear of fans. If you have fucked something up with the installation you'll get beeps but usually the computer won't start, and they won't be persistent.
