GPU/CPU/PSU whine noise?
I recently put together a new build (msi 1070, i5 6600k, Gigabyte z170x-ud5, 16gb DDR4 3000mhz Ram, 750w Antec PSU <- its 5 years old and salvaged from my old build) and today my friend helped my OC my GPU and CPU. Now the tower is silent (Fractual Define R5) on idle or internet browsing but when I fire up some games, its starts making noise. I uploaded some videos with the sounds that it makes.
When you hear my keyboard, thats me alt tabbing out of the game. On the high whine, Im in game, when its low, Im back to my desktop. My friend thinks its my old PSU and the internet and other researched topics say its just my GPU and can't be fixed. Any ideas? Currently playing on a 144hz monitor so the FPS is pushed high

magnetostriction from the 840 evo, send it back under warranty
this board is also not your tech support

If it's coil whine, it can have very esoteric reasons. My R9 Fury makes a whining noise above ~300 FPS which isn't terrible and sounds more like fans really but it only happens in ingame menus and stuff.
My old R9 290 however only made a noise like that when moving the cursor on the desktop and the only options were to lower mouse polling rate to 500 Hz (less noise, still there if you really listened for it) or activating cursor trail (completely gone but obviously uancceptable).
Good luck narrowing it down.

one more thing, disable C states

I'm not too sure what C states are?

I have an Antec 750w Earthwatts and it makes noise. maybe it's the same one?
I believe the bearings on mine are fucked

CPU power saving feature
Boot up, press F2 or DEL, enter UEFI/BIOS, under CPU, look for C-States and disable it completely.
Check otherwise the whine freq utilized by some exchanging PS circuit. The SSD may contain a PWM circuit to lessen the connected 5 Volts (From PSU) down to a lower voltage to be utilized by the cells.
I would confirm that it infact is originating from the SSD from the 840 evo series. Remove the SSD completely and RMA it
Otherwise most basic source is the PSU swelling the 5 V line.
In other scenarios just running a SSD pushes all the other components to the highest potential and it just rattles if you will. anyway, just rma that and gl

btw get a modular psu

I will investigate this further. Thank you for your advice!
