Evga GTX 1080 sc not overclocking

[Ironhell7]

I have just finished my build a few days ago and it was time to overclock. I first opened precision x , added 100mhz and pressed the apply button....nothing happened. There was no change in the frequency. Next I opened msi afterburner and tried again. Again nothing changed.

What is wrong? Is there something wrong with my gpu or with the software? I really wanted to overclock my 1080. Plz help guys. Any help will be really appreciated.

You won't see the effects of the OC until the GPU is under load, if and only if there is enough wiggle room on the power and temp limits. I would suggest some research into Nvidia GPU Boost to clear things up.
