Coil Whine or something else?

Whenever I get up in the high 1000's of fps I hear a high pitched whine from my video card. Wondering if that could damage the video card in anyway. I usually play with vsync on, but Skyrim seems to have a stutter issue when it's turned on.
 
Either coil whine or just a whine from when the capacitors are under stress causing a high current rippling affect (vibration). No it won't damage your video card in anyway unless you suspect there are bulging caps or some other sort of damage on the card. Motherboards and PSU's can whine a lot when under stress so it's not just limited to graphics cards.
