Gigabyte 1060 G1 - 3GB overclock

[kareem.farouk]

Hi all
is it safe to overclock the gtx 1060 G1-3GB ?
is this reducing durability ?

i have tried this and it is working great and stable

111% power limit
50% overvoltage
150Mhz + core (2000Mhz)
1000Mhz + Memory (9000 Mhz)

so should i continue using OC or what ?

Well you can OC the GPU or the CPU till they are in Safe Temp Ranges i thik you should check your GPU temp and then decide you need to OC more or not
I have Asus GTX 1060 @6GB and i can overclock the card easily as the cooler in the Strix is very good but i am still not overclocking it😀
i think i dont need it to

Temps 27-30 idle and 40-45 c heavy load(gpu rendering)

i meen that can reduce its life span ?

As far as I'm aware the durability of the card is only reduced by overheating which is impossible because Graphic cards start losing power after around 83degrees but it depends on the card. So no .... overclocking causes no harm at all. Also i have the same card as you and i managed 160+ core and 700+ memory without extra power limit.
