So i was playing Warframe and can run it on the highest settings and still have around 200fps. But when ever the FPS gets higher than 60 theres an annoying buzzing sound in my headset (HyperX Cloud). The sound goes away when i enable Vsync and the FPS is capped at 60.(And this is present in all games). And i have also looked into "coil whine" but i am pretty certain thats not the case since i experinced nothing during a stress test. (And this is present in all games)
Sorry if my english is not very good.
 
Solution
Most likely EMI from the increased power draw of your gpu, when you limit it to 60fps with vsync it doesn't have to push itself so hard. You can fix the issue by buying a shielded pci-e sound card or a usb sound card.
