ASUS STRIX GTX 1050 TI - Power limit while OC

[Puza Gaming]

Hello guys,since i found some guide how to overclock my GPU
I found out that on my afterburner I'm able to OC more than 100% power limit.
Should i touch that?
Here are my screenshots after clocking everything except power limit.

pretty good OC if it is stable, on that card power limit won't affect a whole lot. you are doing good as it is

These are my results from new OC,is it good?

I'm kinda new to overclocking btw 😛

Crank the power limit and temperature limit to the maximum. Also set priority to the temperature limit. Then raise the core clock speed until it is unstable (try different games for a while) and then do the same for the memory clock.

Why should i increase power limit?

The power limit is just that. Your card measures the incoming power and limits it when it surpasses a threshold. Because you want to overclock you obviously don't care about any power draw (as you should, the improvement in power draw is minimal) and raising it will allow your card to draw more power hence increasing your overclocking capability.

I found out that this gpu should be increased power to 125% in Afterburner with these settings,some people mentioned that on this gpu you shouldn't increase power limit.

People are always worried. There is nothing wrong with maxing it out or otherwise the option wouldn't be there.

Idk if i burn my GPU,how should i do it?
:/
From other guy OC:
I got a stable
+20% vol
+212 clock
+1000memmory clock
@highest temp 57degrees celcius during heaven benchmark and got 73avg fps

There are a lot of safety factors. The manufacturer wouldn't allow you to increase it if it wasn't safe. People say you shouldn't increase the power limit if your GPU only has PCI power but your card also has a 6 pin so it is totally fine. Just max out the sliders for temperature target and power limit to the maximum.

Why should i increase temperature target?
When i can only increase power limit

When overclocking you don't want to be limited by anything. You said your temperature was 57 degrees which is honestly rather cold for a GPU. So increasing the temperature limit might help you gain a little more performance. Just crank both to their maximum and try and increase your clocks a little.

Thanks for the help!
This is my new OC: https://imgur.com/a/8T034Bl
Core: 2113 mhz
Memory: 4513 mhz and i still have under 60c!

That is a really good OC. Enjoy!
