Normally it is the northbridge fan (small fan on motherboard), in my case it was. As it gets used, it starts to vibrate more, the vibration of the fan is hitting the center of the heatsink causing it to make a humming noise. After you have run it for a while it will stop until you boot next.
You just need to replace it with a new 40mm fan, which are cheap. It may not be your northbridge fan, any other 40mm fan on a graphics card may cause it, but genrally it is a small fan vibrating against a heatsink.
