The noise that you're hearing is comming from the 9800GT. The G92 is a lukewarm chip that can be quiet in its two-slot form factor, but the GT version of the card is only single slot. Because the single slot heatsink is not as efficient at cooling the G92, the fan has to work harder to keep temps down. With the fan working harder it is spinning at higher RPMs and just like your car's engine, higher RPMs means more noise. 99% certain that's where your noise issue is coming from.
