I got a GTX 1060 6GB Windforce OC that i use for light gaming. I bought it used a couple of years ago. Ever since i got it i noticed there is some noise comming from the fans. It's kinda like a fan hitting a wire or something grinding its also comming in like waves. You can hear it when the fan speed is 65-80% , you can also hear it just slightly up to 83% but above that and below 65 it doesnt happen. Something similar was happening to my previous gpu so i took it apart and put some oil in the bearing.. tried doing the same on this gpu but there is no bearings??? It has like a pcb and below has the copper things idk.. it also says brushless fan... Anyone can help?

If it can't handle the OC why does it run flawlessly for months and month then randomly crashe few times a week. A year or so ago i tried to ignore the suggested limit and OC it even more. I oc'ed to 1065 and it ran perfectly fine for an hour in Heaven. When i increased the clock more to 1075 and running heaven it crashed but not like this. It just freezed the screen and i had to restart my pc.

Bad overclock? I overclocked with Radeon Settings and just used the slider to max out the gpu/memory clock which is 1050/1500 mhz. (max amd allows). Didn't even touch MSI Afterburner to disable the suggested limit. So you're telling me that my gpu is dying for more than 2 years and still did not die? I dont think so. EDIT: Also you're telling me everyones R9 series gpu is dying in the same way, overclocked or not.

Not really artifacts. Heres an example. https://imgur.com/a/K4DYn19 Sometimes its different collors.

I've been expiriencing a crash where my screen would show vertical lines usually when playing games. Sometiems they are red/orange and gray. I got a R9 270 2GB which is overclocked to 1050/1500. When i google 'vertical lines pc crash' every thread about that is with AMD cards , 90% time R9 Series. The thing is that sometiems it wont crash for months and then crashes few times a week. In other threads they usually say GPU is dying but i dont think its that because it cant be that alot of AMD cards are dying with the same crash. Could it be a driver related problem? Temperatures are completely fine, doesnt go above 75 in demanding games.
