Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT and a weird noise

Hi, it's my first post here. smile

My Graphics card (Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT) is making an annoying noise when I'm running X. It's not the fan, it's more like an electrical buzzing sound and I guess it's coming from the card's power supply. I didn't have the same problem when I was using Windows on this machine and it only happens when running X so I think it has something to do with the driver. Also everything else is working perfectly.
I have tried nvidia and nvidia-beta drivers so should I try nouveau next?

Try enabling V-Sync to limit the FPS.
The cause of this noise are usually the incuctors on your card.
