Hello, just a quick question, has the 1060 voltage been unlocked since the new drivers? I did a clean install of my drivers and downloaded msi afterburner and its allowing me to change voltage from 0-100. Is this accurate or just incorrect readings in msi afterburner? At stock voltage the card shows 1050mv 2100mhz core (My overclock) If I adjust the voltage to 100 the core voltage goes 1081/1093 and the core goes up to 2113/2126. Pretty cool if the cards have been unlocked. AT +100 my temps hit 64 degrees which isn't to bad. Maybe other 1060 users could confirm the voltage is unlocked? I have a msi gaming x version,
 
Solution
The voltage for the pascal cards (1060, 1070 and 1080) is locked at 1.093v.
there is no way to go higher. 100% in MSI afterburner just allows the card to go all the way up to 1.093 if the thermals allow it.
you can get a bit more overclock by modifying power limit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1Qi8fxIi_Y
the video is about 1070/1080, but works for the 1060 as well.
