GPU gtx 970 keeps crashes even though i barely overclocked it

[antoney]

hi,
I keep getting GPU crash message when I open any game after few seconds even though the GPU temp is really low (45 degrees) and I just increased the core clock to 150+ and my PSU is cx750m which is pretty much enough for the OC process and also I am overclocking my i7 3820 to 4000 GHz.
can you help me guys what is the problem here

Hi. Same as with CPUs also GPUs have their own and specific OC potential. +150Mhz does not sound a lot, but indeed is for many GPUs. Can you achieve a stable OC of +100Mhz and full power and temp limit? If yes, just be happy with this.
Very often even though OCs are stable in benchmarks causes crashes in games only proofing that the GPU is not stable.

Your GPU is probably already overclocked from the factory (Usually only mini/1 fan versions are not). Also, don't jump directly at 150.
