So I 1 year ago I bought a graphics card that was mining bit coin. And now it started buzzing and oberheating. I changed the thermal paste but it is still overheating and there is a buzzing sound coming from it. 

Here are my specs:

r9 380x

intel i5 2500

ram 8gb ddr3

Make sure the cooler is mounted correctly 

And by buzzing do you mean coil whine ? 

Also what are your temps ? Lol.

Buzzing comes from transistors coils its called coil whine, its mostly bcs bad quality transistors Gigabyte main problem.

 

And for Heating problem maybe you should try manually to set fan speed curve.

in the game i have the max of 50fps -_- what foes it mean if I set the afterburner to max 120 it wont do anything

No point of OC the card since R9 are not very overclockable...

 

Please do not take offence for my apparent confusion or rudeness,it's not intent me to be like that,it's just my BPD,be nice to me,and I'll return twice better,be rude and usually I get easly pissed of...I'll try to help anyone here,as long as it's something I dealt with,and even if you think I'm rude or not polite,forgive me,  it's not me it's my BPD.

Thanks for understanding.

80C is fine for full load, and the buzzing is most likely coil whine.
