It definitely isn't a scratchy squeal, it sounds just like a ticking/clicking you'd usually hear come from a hard drive but instead it is coming from underneath the heat shield somewhere.  |
I'd pull the heatsink off and make sure none of the thermal pads are interefering with the fan blades. The thermal pads on these things aren't that great.
I suggest load up rivatuner or ati tool and crank the fan speed up and see if it gets louder.
