I'm relatively new to overclocking, my only prior experience being an overclock on my GTX 950.
Now that I'm rebuilding my system, I decided to get MSI's hybrid-cooled GTX 1070, mostly because its only a 60 dollar price difference to one of their air cooled cards, and to be quite honest it looks a lot nicer.
Anyway, despite my reasoning for buying the card, I definitely want to utilize the liquid cooling and overclock it as much as I can.
My question: is it safer/worth increasing the voltage on the card, since the GPU is liquid cooled? I know heat is a major reason as to why overvolting is dangerous, so am I correct in assuming that you could take the voltage higher with liquid cooling?
I already know to increase the power limit to as far as Afterburner will let me, but should I also adjust the voltage slider? If so, how far is safe.
