Does anyone elses pbook make strange noises when they set the CPU to the Highest setting?

I got one of the new 1.5GHz 15" jobbies a week or so ago, it's damn magnificent. The only snag is it makes some pretty odd noises when the CPU is set to highest. I don't think it's a fan. A fan kicks in at about 60c which is a bit louder, but this noise sounds more electrical.

On Auto/Reduced it's pretty fine, but playing games on these settings isn't so good.

Ignore this thread. I just remembered about the search function.
