GPU: ASUS STRIX GTX 1060 06G

This is my OC that i found was stable, meaning no artifacts or weird stuff happening. Is this a good result? Couldnt get past 120 Core Clock and 500 mem clock. But im geussing im limited by the 6 Pin power connecter?

My Core clock is at 2139 mhz the card reaches a temp of 65 max on a standard fancurve.

3DMark Clock is at 2139 the entire time every benchmark. And in Heaven benchmark after half of the benchmark it drops to 2126. What could be the cause?

My guess would be power limit on the GPU is causing the drop in clock speed. Its not a big enough drop to be caused by temps.

When gaming, My cards sit at 1550mhz and 1330mhz (sli and each card has its own overclock limit) while staying at about 105% power usage. But in a synthetic stress test, in my case OCCT, the clock speed would drop to about 1350mhz and 1260mhz because they were hitting their power limit which is set to 110%

I just unlinked the power limit and temp limit from each other, dropped the Core clock to 115 instead of 120. and got a flawless 2139 core clock the entire heaven benchmark.
