So far, my experience with the GTX 960 has been great, no problems. I just have a question, im overclocking the core clock by +180(MSI Afterburner) because at +200 I see graphical artifacts, question is am I fine running at +180 core clock MHz? my max temp on The Witcher 3 (the main game I overclock for,) is 64 degrees celcius while overclocking, is that good? do I have to worry about my gpu burning out? Thanks.

I also use the GTX 960 OC'd and I suggest no higher than the following speeds:
Core Voltage 100% (Obviously)
Power limit 108%
Core clock +150
Memory clock +400
Fan speed 50-80%

In my setup the GPU never goes above 50 degrees, but 64 degrees is very normal too.

Assuming you use MSI Afterburner, where do you see the power limit? I just want to be sure I'm not majorly screwing up something, I've been turning off the overclock and then turning it back on for 2 days when going onto a game where I want it and I've had no problems, the temperatures been stable. I haven't done anything to change power or the like either, just the core clock. [Edit] Ok, so I just looked and the power limit is set to 100% so that's probably fine.
