Hello guys


I m using zotac gtx 660

and as oc software,I m using zotac firestorm


and with oc,Firestorm is using %110 power (+%10 voltage)


so my question?

can it be problem in during permanently using the gpu?

when i click to fast oc button,it is automatically giving +%10 power,so is it problem or not?

and in future as well?

As long as you stick to stock voltage there shouldn't be any long term damage to your GPU but as soon as voltage peak is set higher than default, you can start to expect a little degradation over a long period of time, its usually inversionally proportional to how much juice you are trying to draw from your chip.

I would suggest OCing with stock voltage only, just to stay on safe side because sales guys tend to frown on burnt chips when its clearly customer's fault, even if their own software suggested it.
If that config is in their official software then there shouldn't be a lot of harm in going for it but honestly there won't be a lot of difference between stock and 10% more, generally not worth the hassle and risk.
