Hmm, Are we talking FX 5200 or the FX 5200 Ultra?
The newer Ultra edition has a large volume quick fan mounted center mass of the AGP slot connector. It is incased with-in a "space ship" module housing. This housing drops down into the lower PCI slot, and on some boards will not allow the use of the PCI #1 slot.
Anyhow, I'm tinking the noise is comming from this fan. As per Willows instructions, do a cold power up with the side off and listen for the noise.
