When i overclocked my GPU and raised the core voltage, then proceeded to run a demanding game (example: GTA V), my card started to make a buzzing noice, sounds electric sort of
I haven't heard the sound from the card before.
I raised my Core Voltage by +30 mV
My OC settings are in the picture of course.
When running a demanding game my temps are at around 55-60*C.
In case you can't see the picture here is a link to it:

I just want to know that if anything is bad about the buzzing noice, what it is and/or what i should do.
Oh and by the way, if you have any tips for what i can do with my settings, to increase performance, i would love that. (I'm an overclocking noob)
Thank you!

Its called coil whine, some cards just inherently have it. If everything runs stable you have no problems, it won't cause any damage, just annoy the crap out of you.

Rogue Leader:
It's called coil whine, some cards naturally produce it. If everything operates smoothly, you won't face any issues—it won't harm anything, just irritate you a bit.
Thanks for the clarification, seems like nothing serious here.
My card doesn't have it by default though, but that's fine!
I think everything is stable. I often get artifacts and driver crashes when I go past +150 on Core Clock :/
I barely notice it with the headset, which is a good sign.

Keep it simple to avoid issues, and you're fine.
Most GPU makers won't accept it for swapping, but if they did, another card probably wouldn't cause this.
