Most (all?) internal soundcards don't pick up the acoustic sound of the fans but the electric noise of fan, disks (cd/dvd included), mouse, key, everything that send digital data through a poor shielded or unshielded cable inside the computer. That is what you hear if the soundcard doesn't provide enough shielding itself. And sometimes (read on some soundcards) you can even hear the power fluctuating when fans/processors/disks need more/less power. That is the added effect why I think external soundcards (with external power?) are better then internal ones. BTW: I get similar effects in my internal sblive as you with your external sb extigy...
