After running a bunch of stress tests and capping the frames to 140. It seems like the whining has decreased after each run.

If the sound changes with the load on the card, it's very likely coil whine. You might be able to fix it with V-sync.
Capping FPS to 140 for my monitor, but that doesn't seem to help.
Try capping it at something like 60 just for testing and see if the whine decreases. It might just be unavoidable at those framerates, although I might see about RMA-ing the card if it whines that much at reasonable framerates.
Are your games running at uncapped framerates and reaching above 400 fps? The more FPS you're getting the more stress being put on the GPU.
fps was sitting around 140 in the test (running mw2 benchmark)
