Your GPU is producing a repetitive clicking sound along with a buzzing tone. It seems to be related to coil whine, but it happens even when the fans are running at zero RPM. You're using AMD's Adrenalin software for overclocking and haven't encountered any issues with power or voltage settings, nor with VRAM frequency. The noise appears suddenly when you increase the minimum or maximum clock speeds without saving changes. This behavior suggests a possible mechanical issue rather than just thermal or electrical problems. Keep monitoring and consider checking the fans and cooling system for any signs of wear.

Sure, just to confirm. It sounds like you're thinking there should be no problems with the card running overclocked, but you're considering sticking with underclocking instead since the noise bothers you a lot.
