I had noticed a noise coming from my gpu when i played games like CSGO or Overwatch, so when i looked closer i had noticed the card was not in all the way but it couldn't go in all the way. Ive been mostly playing league of legends, temps are around 40 degrees and never heard the buzzing from there. i ran Overwatch at 1050p Ultra and the card would max at 64 C.
Is my gpu gonna explode? (this is my first build too)
Mobo: MSI B250 Mortar Arctic
GPU: Sapphire RX 470 4GB

Its perfectly fine, there will always be that tiny little gap, if it wasn't inserted properly it simply wouldn't work. What you hear is most likely coil whine, does it sound like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HALi3kf98Iw if so dont worry its just an annoyance that is common in some video cards, nothing to worry about if so.

Ammmmm I think I know what is going on. The lock which keeps the gpu in motherboard is not clipped. Do the following steps :

1.Unscrew your gpu from case

2.Remove the gpu

3.Switch the white dongle to the right so it is in an open position

4.Reseat the card (push it gently more to the motherboard until you see the white bracket close down)

5.Reinstall your drivers

6.You are good to go! :)
