Hey guys, I recently built a pc with the R7 260x and whenever I play games that give stress to the card, I hear a high pitch buzzing noise and I did some research to see that many people consider this to be coil whine. When I exit out of the game , alt tab, or whenever the screen isn't displaying/rendering the graphics, the sound immediately stops. However, I did some tweaking on the clocks using the afterburner and i noticed that if i bring down the clock speed (core/memory), then the sound gets quieter the more I go down. Should I just keep the clock speed at a level that does not make any noise? How much will this actually effect my fps/gameplay/graphics if I do end up underclocking to a low point to keep the coil whine off? What do you guys suggest I do? Thanks in advance!
