My build is about a week old. Whenever there is a lot of activity there seems to be a screeching noise from the cpu or the heatsink. I am running the stock heatsink and the highest temp I got on load was 68c on one of the cores.

As far as the noise goes, the best I can describe is when you are putting a CD in a CD drive and it's trying to read it. Sometimes it makes a screeching noise as the disc spins on the tray.

Any suggestions?
 
After looking around I have found this is a common problem with Core i7 builds. I have found that disabling C1E and EIST in the BIOS has eliminated it almost 100%.

Are there any problems that I can expect to run into in the long term if I keep those disabled?

Yeah, you're keeping the CPU running hot and wasting a bit of energy.
