Hello,
I just wonder if i would accidentaly break my graphics card by overclocking it,my manufacturer,Gainward would replace it?


Gainward or any other manufacturer will not replace the GPU if was dead by overclocking.

Now, the question is: What do you mean with "break"?, because your question tell me that you haven't much experience in overclocking.

So,if they don't know.....they can replace it right?
*by break i mean overclocking it too much...but that is not the case...my problem is with the fact that the gpu makes a buzzing noise when i run furmak with dynamic camera(not from the fan)


If that's the problem, you can RMA the GPU and get another one for replacement, even, you can overclock it for test it more and the manufacturer will not know that.

The only way for a manufacturer know that you overclocked that GPU is if you removed the stock cooling and use some extreme things like LN2 or volt mods in the PCB...but in stock cooling is almost impossible to know.

furmark will stress the gpu more than ANYTHING ELSE. if that is only when the noise is heard, don't worry about it; nothing and i repeat NOTHING will stress the gpu like furmark.

no, its not "broken" just not perfect. from what i understand; there are several 79xx cards that have the same coil whine. won't affect performance or hurt the card, just be irritating as hell.
