I can't play on unlimited because that causes my GPU to go berserk and make really high pitched noises, and I was told that is not a good sign. When I have unlimited frames i get about ~1600 fps in gameplay so I know I can go a lot higher than 240 but I don't want to ruin my GPU so I can't go unlimited.

go to your osu!user.cfg file, open it in wordpad/notepad, and change the value of CustomFrameLimit to your desired max fps

I would suggest you to not do that if you have issues like that lol
Maybe consider getting a new GPU?

unlimited frames basically eats electricity for nothing and makes your gpu work at max capacity for a 2d circle clicking game. you dont get any advantages playing over 240.

Just limit it to 120, that's all you'll need considering monitors don't have superbly high refresh rates yet

just set it to the refresh rate of your monitor, you don't get any advantage out of rendering in a framerate higher than what your monitor can output, lol
if your monitor is 60Hz just use the 60fps cap, if it's 120Hz use the 120fps cap and if it's 144Hz do this and set it to 144fps unless i remember wrong and there is a 144fps preset:

More FPS = less input lag.

are you sure about that being true?

Well, peppy said it himself that higher FPS = lower latency, and that anything past 480fps will make a negligible difference to the gameplay. Personally, I'd at least recommend a framerate of 2x of your refresh rate or more, to compensate for the time that the GPU takes to buffer a frame.

240 fps is more than enough, also wrong section mate.
