What's the best overclock i could get out of this without touching the vcore cause i want it to last longer instead of shorting it's life span below is a screenshot of the specs of my gpu. also what memory should i change and core clock via after burner? Im thinking should i go with +185 on core and +400 on mem. Power limit maxed and core voltage untouched?

Is this a safe overclock?

Safe GPU Overclocking Guide 2015

All GPU's are made different and the silicon lottery and all these other factor's will make every single GPU's overclock different. You just need to use the guide above to overclock it from scratch.

Also increasing voltage and power limit most definitely does not affect your lifespan unless you go above the limitation the overclocking programs has given you.
 
If you go too high the clock speed will revert to the default speed after the driver crashes. So in a way it's all safe really because it resets before any damage occurs. What you want is an overclock that's going to be stable. Test it out in games or try Unigine Valley or heaven benchmark. Use MSI afterburner to monitor your temps and boost clock. Some cards boost higher than others when overclocked so you really want to take note of how high your GPU is boosting in game or in a benchmark. The boostclock in gpu-z won't be your max boost clock so you can't go by that. Try to aim for 1350MHz and if that's stable aim for 1400MHz if that's not stable go lower or up the voltage. If 1350MHz isn't stable go to 1300MHz or up your voltage.
 


Thanks i read until all the way down till overclocking i can't find no reviews about this card online on what to set the overclock to on this card 🙁

 


The GTX 970 Gaming Edition and 100 ME are identical so use that.

Ok thank you :)

 
So ive decided to go with techpowerup clock speeds 1300mhz on the GPU Clock and 1980Mhz on the memory Clock been stable on BF4 i havnt had no fps drop since the gpu temp gets to 68c havn't seen it go above that.

Update* tried them settings and my pc froze so went back to my original overclock they seem stable now :)
 


For people who have been overclocking for a while will have no problem getting a stable overclock, however if you are new the overclock may not be stable and you may crash once every few days so just keep adjusting it depending on the overclock.
 


cheers i did manage to up the memory to 500+ no crashes or freezing or artifacts its fast not even dropped 1 fps on bf4 and gta v well wow what can i say big improvement.
 


so what is your overall settings? pls help
